Mel's Meals - Tuna Pesto Penne

Well Mel, today's meal can't get any easier. It's flavorful, light, and is ready under 20 minutes! It's a perfect dish for when you get home late, and aren't in the mood to cook up a storm. The left overs work great for lunch! This Tuna Penne is packed with bold basil and sun-dried tomato flavor! I found this recipe in a magazine and played around with it a bit! Enjoy!
