How to Make One Pot Spaghetti Supper

  1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
  2. Return the drained spaghetti to the pot. Add olive oil and chopped onion; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Stir in the marinara sauce, chopped olives, and capers. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  5. Flake the drained tuna and add it to the sauce. Stir to combine.
  6. Cook for 1 minute more, or until heated through.
  7. Add a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water to create a slightly saucier consistency if needed.
  8. Season generously with salt and red pepper flakes to your liking.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
