Mediterranean Tuna Skillet Casserole
Ingredients
  • 2 cups farfalle (bow tie) pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces chunk light tuna in water, drained and flaked
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup coarsely torn fresh basil
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently, 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Fill a large pot with water and add a moderate amount of salt. Bring the water to its boiling point, creating a rolling motion on the stovetop.
3
Cook bow-tie pasta in the boiling water, stirring periodically, until it reaches a suitable texture that is both tender and retains some firmness in the center, approximately 12 minutes.
4
Simultaneously, heat a generous amount of oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Introduce the onion and garlic into the hot oil, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes tender, taking around 5 to 7 minutes.
5
Add the tuna, water, cranberries, tomatoes, olives, pine nuts, and parsley to the skillet. Stir in the cooked pasta.
6
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake, covered with a lid, for 25 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
7
Bake, uncovered, until the mixture is heated through and the cheese has melted, approximately 5 more minutes.
8
Finish by sprinkling basil leaves on top before serving.
