Here's the link for a fresh pesto sauce recipe with walnuts and parsley.
Sauté your vegetables until only just tender but still with some crunch - I used spring onions and bell peppers but you can add / sub with onion and garlic.
Drain your pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water. Stir the pasta, pesto and reserved water into the vegetables.
Gently fold in the tuna so it doesn't break up too much, keeping the chunks.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and grated parmesan or cheddar cheese if using, and serve hot.
This pesto pasta tuna recipe will happily keep for up to 3 days in the fridge so it's ideal if you like to meal prep! Store in covered containers in the fridge without the extra cheese on top.
You can reheat this easily in a microwave.
