Mediterranean-inspired tuna skillet with cranberries, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and fresh herbs for a burst of flavor.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups farfalle (bow tie) pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.25 cup thinly sliced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces chunk light tuna in water, drained and flaked
  • 0.75 cup water
  • 0.5 cup dried cranberries
  • 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 0.25 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 0.5 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 0.5 cup coarsely torn fresh basil
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for the perfect cooking temperature.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta until al dente, about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Heat oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until onion is tender, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Combine the tuna, water, cranberries, tomatoes, olives, pine nuts, and parsley in a pot. Gently fold in the cooked pasta.
  • Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes with the cover on. Remove the cover, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and continue baking uncovered for another 5 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted.
  • Garnish with fresh basil just before serving.
