Serves: 4
 

Ingredients:

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound tubetti or elbow macaroni
1/4 cup olive oil
14 ounces tuna packed in water
10 ounces frozen petite peas -- thawed
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons green olive paste or pesto
1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
 

Preparation:

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Place olive oil, tuna, peas, lemon juice, olive paste and pepper flakes in a mixing bowl and mix well with a fork. When pasta is cooked, drain it thoroughly and return it to the pot, off heat, add tuna mixture to the pot and toss to combine; cover the pot and let mixture sit for a minute to heat through. Season to taste with salt and more pepper flakes if you wish. Leftovers are delicious served as a salad with mustard mayonnaise dressing or with a vinaigrette; chopped fresh tomatoes are a nice addition as would be chopped fresh parsley. Yield: 4 servings
