Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups farfalle (bow tie) pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup thinly sliced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces chunk light tuna in water, drained and flaked
¾ cup water
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
½ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
½ cup coarsely torn fresh basil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook in the hot oil, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add tuna, water, cranberries, tomatoes, olives, pine nuts, and parsley. Stir in cooked pasta.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake, covered, for 25 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, until heated through and cheese melted, about 5 more minutes.
  • Sprinkle with basil before serving.
