👨‍🍳 Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.

Drain and toss pasta with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Grease an ovenproof baking dish.

While penne is cooking, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Add onion and cook, stirring often, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add tuna and cook for 2 minutes.

Pour heavy cream over tuna and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Add penne and toss well.

Transfer to the prepared baking dish and cover with Parmesan cheese.
