Instructions
Directions
- Heat olive oil: Pour a generous splash of olive oil into a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Let it warm up, releasing its rich aroma, about 1-2 minutes.
- Sauté shallots and garlic: Add finely chopped shallots and minced garlic to the pan, stirring occasionally until they become soft and fragrant, approximately 2 minutes.
- Add paprika: Sprinkle in the sweet smoked Spanish paprika, stirring for about 30 seconds.
- Incorporate diced tomatoes: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, then season with sea salt and black pepper. Let it simmer for 3 minutes.
- Add broth and pasta: Pour vegetable broth into the pan and bring to a boil. Add uncooked penne pasta and stir well.
- Cook pasta: Cook uncovered for about 9 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the pasta is nearly al dente, cover the pan and reduce the heat for another 3-4 minutes.
- Mix in tuna and yogurt: Remove from heat and gently fold in the drained canned tuna, Greek yogurt, and chopped parsley.
- Serve: Dish up your Simple Tuna Pasta and garnish with additional parsley.
Notes
Optional: Serve with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Allow Greek yogurt to sit at room temperature to avoid curdling.
