Ingredients
Preparation
TOMATO SAUCE
This makes approximately 3 cups. I make it ahead and freeze it in 1 cup quantities perfect for this recipe.
Heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion garlic and chiles and saute gently until onion is soft. Add tomatoes and simmer on low for about 10 minutes. Add salt and basil leaves and stir to combine.
PASTA
Cook penne according to package instructions for al dente.
Heat oil over medium heat and add garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and olives. Cook until garlic is golden. Add tomato sauce, mix to blend well and heat through. Break tuna into chunks and add to sauce. Cook for about one minute more. Keep sauce warm.
When penne is just about done, add cream to sauce and stir until it is well absorbed. Don't allow the sauce to boil at this point. Drain penne and add to sauce mixing well. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
