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!
Tuna Pesto Penne
Ingredients:
1 Can of Tuna in vegetable broth & oil (Do not drain)
1/3 Cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
2 Tbsp Pesto (fresh or pre-made)
2 Cups dry Penne Pasta
1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese (optional)
Boil Penne until al dente, meanwhile chop up 1/3 cup of Sun-dried tomatoes.
Drain pasta and add the Pesto & Sun-dried tomatoes
Add in can of Tuna, do not drain! The oil & broth will add to the pesto sauce.
Top with Parmesan Cheese & serve!
Nice! Try making the pesto from scratch. It'll be worth the work, trust me!
