Creating Easy Canned Tuna Pasta in Creamy Garlic Sauce is both enjoyable and effortless. Follow these simple steps to bring this recipe to life:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Garlic: In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn, as this can alter the dish’s taste.

5. Mix in Cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring continuously until melted and well combined.
6. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta into the sauce and toss everything together until the pasta is well coated.
