    This canned tuna pasta recipe is quick, healthy, and comforting. The perfect recipe when you don't have a lot in your pantry!

    healthy 15 minute canned tuna pasta in a white bowl

    This tuna garlic pasta recipe takes me back to my childhood. My mom used to make something similar when I was a kid, and I just loved it.

    She'd sometimes chop up celery leaves instead of using parsley, but I never have those on hand, so parsley it is!

    I hadn't made this recipe in a while, and I really enjoyed eating it after I finished the photos. I never put this recipe on the blog because I wasn't sure people would like it, even though I know it tastes great. I did a little research, and there definitely is demand for canned tuna pasta, so I figured I'd do it.

    I can't believe it's September already. I'm sure everyone is saying it, but it kinda snuck up on me. I love summer, so I'm sad to see it go, and I'm so not ready for fall.

    In any case, if you're busy and frazzled with back-to-school activities, this tuna spaghetti recipe is one way to save some time and keep your sanity.

    This healthy tuna pasta recipe can be jazzed up or even made more simple than it already is. For the photos I added some grated parmesan cheese and a little lemon zest (I used the same handy tool to do both so it took me like 30 seconds), but in real life I don't usually bother.

    I've even made this with just tuna, garlic, and olive oil when I'm in a rush and I really have nothing in the fridge (it's rare I don't have parsley).

        Hi Dorothy! Did you use tuna packed in water? I find that kind of tuna always tastes dry no matter what you do (that's why I always buy oil-packed tuna). Did all the juices cook away? It shouldn't be dry at all, but it's not saucy in the way that marinara is, for example.

        Hi! I just added it for you, but it can vary wildly in reality. For example, it'll change if you use oil-packed tuna, and if you're not accurately measuring out 2 ounces of spaghetti, so keep that in mind. If you want the most accurate version, I suggest plugging in the actual ingredients you're using into a calorie calculator.

      Perfect [...] Pescado Pasta! When I learned my wife was making pork again, I Googled "canned tuna recipes" and stumbled on this awesome recipe. The reviewer before me mentions this being reminiscent of seafood linguini and I agree. I used two cans of tuna and didn't really measure anything out as I went and it turned out great. I also added parmesan and probably used a higher ratio of lemon juice but I like tangy pasta. I had leftover pasta and it took maybe 10 minutes to make. My kids ate the pork and my wife ate this lol.

      This recipe is a winner, and very reminiscent of a seafood linguini in flavor. It is such a nice, light, and healthier alternative to the heavy cream and cheese tuna concoctions. It took just minutes to prepare, using only a few ingredients. I had leftover cooked bow tie pasta and made the sauce as written, with about a quarter teaspoon of herbs de Provence in lieu of salt and pepper, and chopped green onion instead of parsley. We will definitely be making it again. Thank you!

      Hi, fellow Natasha (and Mediavine blogger)! Thank you for this recipe - it's exactly what I needed to find right now! I have canned tuna and pasta but my can opener broke and I can't get into my tomatoes right now so my usual go-to recipe is out! I also really like your idea of editing comments to avoid certain words. That's really smart. Hope you and our family are well!

        Hmmm 500g is a lot (feeds at least 4-6)... I wouldn't use it all. Like you'd probably need to double or even triple the recipe to have enough sauce if you really wanted to use the entire thing.

      This is my second comment because I've made this dish exactly as written and as the suggestions in the comments. Everything is delicious! Throw in more herbs and seasoning if you want. Put in less. Pop in some vegetables that are going to go bad. Or make it just as in the recipe. It's always tasty. Excellent recipe.

      I followed the recipe but added embellishments like like roasted red peppers, capers, and artichoke hearts (all from jars/cans, courtesy of your friendly neighborhood dollar stores), and it came out great! I'm just sorry that I discovered this recipe just now, in these times when the [...] made for empty store shelves and emptier social calendars.

      What a great and delicious recipe! I am a busy bachelor who works a lot of hours and don't have time to cook labor intensive healthy meals during the week. I have been trying to eat healthier and this fits the bill perfectly. I did tweak this recipe a little and swapped out the parsley for some frozen artichoke hearts that had been thawed out in the fridge and used whole wheat egg noodles instead because that is what I had on hand. However the base recipe I used was the same. Thank you for this great recipe, I plan on making this often.

      I was looking for something a little lighter than my usual tuna with cream cheese, or tuna with tomato and basil sauce. This fits the bill perfectly! I've used garlic, parsley, and lemon for chicken before, but never thought to switch the chicken for tuna! My youngest son had requested "something with tuna" and this went down very well with everyone! Many thanks!

      I make similar dish, but adding more lemon, some zest and a couple of cans of artichoke quarters makes it a perfect dish for us. This is good warm or cold., and really nice cold, on a hot night in summer.

      I came looking for inspiration for some unloved cans of tuna languishing in my store cupboard and yours was the perfect recipe! I added some frozen peas to mine, which needed using up too. Absolutely delicious and so quick and easy to make. So glad I found your blog, I will be back again I’m sure! Thank you.

      Your garlic will taste better if you let it sit 10-15 minutes after cutting it up & before adding it to the pan. Enzymes, baby!

      This was SO PERFECT! We were out of power most of last month thanks to PG&E shutoffs and are still restocking our cabinets. We didn't have any lemon juice but we did have pickled jalapeƱos so I used some of that juice and chopped up a little bit of jalapeƱo and threw that in with a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Topped with a bit of red pepper flakes made for one TASTY meal. Thank you for sharing this!

I tripled the garlic, added red hot pepper flakes and seeds, 2 cans of tuna, EXTRA lemon juice and some Cavanders Seasoning. THIS WAS GREAT!

      What a great way to make a MEAL with very few ingredients or with whatever ingredients you have on hand! I was getting low on veggies & some pantry items but found a bunch of cans tuna. I was out of celery and mayo to make a tuna salad, so I started a internet search for a tuna recipe. I found this one and I am so glad that I did!

      I doubled this recipe except for the tuna which I tripled b/c I had so many cans of it and wanted to use it before the expiry date. I used dried parsley in place of fresh b/c I didn't have fresh. I also added a tsp each of dried dill & dried chives, 1/2 cup finely diced onion, 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes, the rest of a bag of leftover frozen peas and used gluten free linguine.

      I also decided to use up what was left of some white wine (a lil over a cup) mixed with a tsp of Organic Veggie Broth base and added it to the pan with the tuna to cook down a bit before adding the pasta water & pasta. I didn't use any cheese due to dietary restrictions, however I clearly did not need it because this dish was delish without it!! Thanks so much for a delicious, healthier & easier dinner option with tuna than just than just tuna salad & tuna casserole!šŸ™†

      I’ve been making a version of this for years, except I sautĆ© minced onion & shallots in olive oil & butter then add an entire (small) stalk of celery, leaves and all well chopped, afterwards I add the zest and juice of a lemon before adding several cans of tuna in water - all drained except for one and one can of tuna in oil (also drained). Plenty of fresh pepper and finished with crunchy salt. We prefer it with spaghetti.

      I don’t know where I got this, but I’ve been making this since the early 1970s. We were broke, underemployed, and paying off school loans. We both loved it. I tried variations, but the only ones I kept were more lemon juice, a small amount of garlic oil instead of the garlic cloves, and some fresh lemon thyme leaves. Wonderful recipe.

      This is fabulous and so straightforward to make. It ticks all the boxes: quick, easy, store cupboard ingredients and popular with everyone. Many of the tweaks on the comments seem interesting, my own very simple one was a couple of handfulls of cherry tomatoes. Thanks so much for this recipe.

        Thanks! I do not. I am not a trained nutritionist, and I don't really trust the online nutrition calculators out there. If you want to know calorie info, I suggest plugging the exact ingredients you've used into one of the free calorie calculators out there. Calories in this recipe can vary a lot... depending on the size of the can of tuna you use, whether the tuna is packed in oil or water or not, what type of pasta you use, etc.

      This was great. So quick and easy and so satisfying. Being Greek means of course lemon, olive oil and garlic are some of my fav ingredients. Next time I'd like to try adding capers or kalamata olives. I had some leftover xorta (dandelion leaves) that I chopped up and added also. YUM!

      This was straight up the easiest and weirdest recipe I have ever made for dinner. Amazingly, all 3 of my kids lived this! One of my kids said if he could only eat one thing for the rest of his life, this would be it! I was straight up shocked that they would even try this it looked so weird. I added half a can of corn and celery leaves and stalk. Topped with some parmesan cheese and salt and pepper. The only reason I made this was because my husband was out of town (he would never est this), and I had to make something quick for my kids after school and before hockey.

I tried it two ways, the first time sprinkled some Parmesan after serving and second time I added some cayenne pepper (because I love a hot kick in my meals) when mixing ingredients and both were yummy.

      "add the garlic and cook it" What, 2 whole cloves? Or do I slice it? Or chop it? Or put it through garlic press? Sorry, but I need more instructions... and could I add turmeric & tomato sauce to it? I'm hopeless without help in a kitchen.

        February 3, 2019 at 10:09 AM

        Hi Geoff! In the ingredients list it is supposed to show the garlic as ā€œmincedā€ - my bad that I didn’t specify! I will fix that pronto. I usually put it thru the garlic press, but you could also chop it very finely. Sure, you could add some turmeric and tomato sauce too. I’ve never tried that combo personally, but I think it could be very tasty. Let me know how it goes! If you’re worried, just make the recipe as written first and then try the tomatoes. 😊

          I sprinkled a teaspoon of turmeric powder over the chopped garlic while it was frying. Also added a half-cup of sauce made from 100% tomato puree and hot water. It was not only delicious but surprisingly filling (I used wholemeal spaghetti). Excellent - very satisfying. I might "zing it up" next time with a sprinkling of hot curry powder in the early stages...

      I'm trying it as I write and damn, it's really easy and delicious! I made it with macaroni though, since that's the only one I have. I also added fresh pineapples to give it a sweet touch. Topped with cheese, it's really yummy.

        Yes, it's meant to be a super simple recipe... a "clean out the pantry" or a "I don't feel like putting much effort in because it's been a long day" type thing. Did you salt it properly? Add some red pepper flakes if you want it spicy. Not exactly sure what you were hoping for. Similar recipes are quite popular in Europe. Oh well - guess I can't please everyone. šŸ™‚

        Omg I never would have thought to do this! Sooo good. Made a few changes based on what I had but used exact recipe as base and added extra lemon juice since I had juiced a lemon, little fresh parmesan at the end, fresh spinach, yellow curry, and some white pepper with rigatoni pasta. Awesome! Keeper for sure! I had nothing else to cook with and you saved dinner!
