In a 12 in. skillet, heat 1/4 c. oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 5 min. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic. Add the tuna to the skillet and, using a fork, break into chunks. Add the cherry tomatoes, artichoke hearts, capers, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften, about 8 to 10 min. Add the pasta, remaining 1/4 c. of olive oil, and the parsley. Toss until all the ingredients are coated, adding a little pasta water, if needed, to thin out the sauce. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve warm or at room temp.
