Tonnarelli ai Fagioli is a delightful blend of flavors that brings a satisfying and nutritious meal to your table, perfect for any night of the week!

1

Start by boiling a large pot of salted water for your tonnarelli. Once boiling, add the tonnarelli and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

2

While the pasta is cooking, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

3

Add 3 minced garlic cloves to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

4

Next, add the canned white beans (drained and rinsed) and cook for 5 minutes, stirring gently to combine with the garlic and oil.

5

After 5 minutes, add the canned tuna (drained) to the pan, breaking it up gently and cooking for another 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

6

Once the tonnarelli is cooked, reserve 1 cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta. Immediately add the hot tonnarelli to the pan with the tuna and beans.

7

Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach your desired sauce consistency.

8

Finally, stir in the chopped parsley and serve warm.
