Ingredients

• 12 ounces Gluten-free pasta
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Red onion, diced
• 10 ounces Canned tuna, drained
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Gluten-free chicken broth
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced red onion and sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the drained tuna, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook briefly for about 2 minutes to heat through.

Step 4

Pour in the heavy cream and gluten-free chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes until it slightly thickens.

Step 5

Add the grated Parmesan cheese and lemon juice to the skillet, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.

Step 8

Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve the creamy tuna pasta hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
