Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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 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 suggests, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water.
- Add cooked pasta to the pan with tuna and mix to combine. Add some of the pasta water and toss lightly until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, 1 to 2 more minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
