Cuisine: Italian/American 
Prep Time: 5 minutes 
Cook Time: 10 minutes 
Total Time: 15 minutes 
Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 1 box (16 ounces) of your favorite pasta (I used gluten-free penne) 
• 1 large can (12 ounces) tuna in water (can use tuna in oil if preferred) 
• 1 can (15 ounces) sweet peas
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons capers
• juice of half of a large lemon 
• 1 teaspoon garlic and herb seasoning (I used Weber Garlic and Herb Seasoning) 
• shredded Parmesan cheese, to taste
• sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Here’s how to make it:

1. Cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, combine tuna, peas, capers, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic and herb seasoning in a bowl. Stir mixture with a large fork until combined (it will be chunky).
2. Drain pasta and spoon into individual bowls. Top each serving with the tuna mixture, to taste. Cover with Parmesan cheese, to taste. Season with sea salt and pepper, if desired.
