Ingredients
-
1 pound pasta, such as Campanelle or Fiorentini
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil (plus 1/4 cup)
- 1 small or 1/2 medium red onion (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 6-ounce can Italian tuna in oil, such as Flott, drained
- 1 pint 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 8 ounces frozen artichoke hearts (thawed and quartered)
- 2 tablespoons capers (rinsed and drained)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water.
- In a 14-inch skillet, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic. Add the tuna to the skillet and, using a fork, break into chunks. Add the cherry tomatoes, artichoke hearts, capers, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the pasta, the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, and the parsley. Toss until all the ingredients are coated, adding a little pasta water, if needed, to thin out the sauce. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the pasta to a serving bowl and serve warm or at room temperature.

That’s awesome! The best thing about recipes like this is how you can switch out ingredients with whatever you have. So happy you loved it!
I just made this, and it’s FANTASTIC!…I halved it (w/ a small/4oz can of tuna), as I’m only cooking for one…the artichokes I had were no bueno, so substituted a can of sliced black olives…and had some fresh grated parm’ leftover from last night’s dinner and tossed that in at the end as well—about 1/4 cup….I can’t explain how well the flavors blend here—I’ve eaten about 1/2 of it already, warm—can’t stop sneaking a bite—hope the rest makes it to dinner!…thanks, Giada, for another homerun classic—going into my repertoire
