This tuna pasta bake is a great midweek dinner option that's easy to make yet oh-so flavorsome, creamy, and delicious. Add veggies like peas, baby spinach, or sautéed mushrooms, if you like.

Ingredients

  • 1 , 14.6 ounce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 onion , chopped
  • 3 , 5 ounce
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an oven-proof baking dish.

  2. 2

    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 olive oil.

  3. 3

    While pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tuna and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in heavy cream; season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Add penne and toss well. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and cover with Parmesan cheese.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
