Ingredients
- Coarse salt and ground pepper 1 pound penne or other short tubular pasta 2 teaspoons olive oil 1 large red onion, chopped 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 1 cup half-and-half 3 anchovy fillets, mashed (optional) 2 cans (6 ounces each) tuna packed in oil, drained 3/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 2 tablespoons capers, drained
Directions
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions; drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water. Return pasta to pot.
Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until onion is very tender and starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Add half-and-half and if using, anchovies; raise heat to high, and boil 2 minutes.
Pour mixture over pasta. Add tuna, parsley, capers, and reserved pasta water; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
Cook’s Notes Anchovy paste, a mixture of anchovies, vinegar, spices, and water, is a mess-free substitute for mashed fillets; use 1 teaspoon of paste for each fillet.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 07/21/2017 Also the oil amount makes garlic easy to burn Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 07/20/2017 not a repeat dish ! It needs more cream and maybe an acid like lemon or wine . Just ok Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 10/28/2012 This was very tasty and simple to throw together on a weeknight. Great with a simple side salad. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 12/22/2008 I make similar dishes often adding whatever leftovers I have on hand. I usually retain more of the pasta water because my husband likes more sauce. Don't season sauce with salt until finished - pasta water is salted and when it cooks down can make the sauce way too salty, especially with anchovies and tuna.Martha Stewart Member
