Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 (5 ounce) can tuna packed in olive oil, undrained
1 tablespoon capers, drained
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
½ pound spaghetti
½ tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until beginning to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add tuna with oil, capers, and crushed red pepper flakes; heat through.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water for 1 minute less than the package instructs, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the pan and mix to combine. Add some of the pasta water and toss lightly until the pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, 1 to 2 more minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
