Ingredients

1 (14.6 ounce) package penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, chopped
3 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked
1 cup heavy whipping cream
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and toss pasta with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
