    Pasta con atunPin

    I love tuna and sometimes when I don’t feel like cooking I just open a can of tuna, ad some fresh squeezed lime juice and chopped tomatoes and that is my lunch. The other day, however, I got I little fancy and added more ingredients to my tuna salad 🙂

    This is a simple and delicious pasta and tuna salad. You can use frozen peas and carrots if you don’t have fresh at home.

    Enjoy!

      When I was a kid I never liked tuna salad, and now I can't get enough of it, you've given me another great recipe to add to my list.

      I love Tuna, its healthy and great for you. I have been looking for better ways to prepare this dish for a while. These days I make sure that the Tuna that I buy is from sustainable fishing sources.
