1
Start by preparing your pasta. Cook the whole grain penne pasta in a pot with boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
2
While the pasta is cooking, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
3
Combine the marinara sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, finely diced white onion, and the drained and flaked albacore tuna in a bowl.
4
Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the marinara and tuna mixture. Add one cup of the shredded low fat mozzarella cheese and stir everything together until well combined.
5
Transfer the pasta and sauce mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
6
Sprinkle the remaining half cup of shredded cheese on top.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, if you want a golden brown top, broil for additional 2-3 minutes.
8
Allow the dish to cool slightly, then garnish with the finely chopped fresh parsley before serving.
