- Cook it only for 6 minutes. Before draining the pasta, save ½ cup of water.
- Mix the pasta with sauce. The pasta water can be added here. Try to pour only ¼ of the water. If the sauce is too thick, you can add more pasta water. Speaking of parsley, add it while you mix pasta and sauce or add it when you are done mixing.

In addition, you better pick canned tuna which has more oil inside the can. For your information, the oil is considered to be the additional ingredients of pasta sauce. It will enhance the taste. If the canned tuna has less than 1½ tbsp oil, you better add more cooking oil. That’s all. Actually, you can make a variation by adding more or other ingredients.
