Penne with Tomato-Caper Tuna brings briny capers, bright lemon, and tender flakes of tuna together in a light tomato sauce that clings to each bite of pasta.

Assemble all the ingredients.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook, stirring now and then, until slightly firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes.

Warm the oil over low heat in a large skillet. Add the onion and the garlic; cook and stir until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
4

Stir in the tomatoes, capers, lemon juice, parsley, and pepper flakes. Let it simmer gently until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.

Gently fold in the tuna and cook until it is heated through.

Drain the penne and return it to the pot. Pour the sauce over the pasta and toss to coat.
