Tuna and White Bean Pasta

[Prep Time: 0 min, Cooking Time: 15 min]


What you need:
1 box pasta
1 can white beans
1 can tuna
2-3 tablespoons of pesto sauce

You can buy pre-made pesto sauce from the supermarket. Mix several tablespoons of it into cooked pasta, while the pasta is still hot.

Tuna goes into the pasta next. Canned tuna in olive oil is perfect, as the mixture will taste better with some olive oil. If the tuna is the chunky kind, break it down in a bowl first.

Beans go in last. The mixture will become quite thick due to all the extra starch. Don't mix too much as canned beans can easily go all mushy on you.

As for pasta type, any kind will do. Since the tuna and beans are quite chunky, I find that the big tubular pasta works best (Mezzani Rigati).
