One-Pan Creamy Tuna Pasta

From Albert Brevia:
This is the perfect dish for a busy weeknight dinner. Yet it´s bold enough for an elegant weekend lunch next to a bottle of Spanish wine. Either way you dice it, this promises to be one of the best tasting pasta dishes ever.

To cook the pasta, I used vegetable broth, but you can always use water. I just prefer to use broth, as it adds more depth of flavors to the overall dish. I also added a dash of sweet smoked Spanish paprika, to give it a smoky touch that is not over-powering.
