I love cooking and eating pasta and I have already posted some of my favorite pasta recipes but for Pesto, I prefer to use fusilli because I like the way the tuna gets lodged in the twists of the corkscrews.

Easy to Cook Pesto Recipe

Cooking Fusilli Pasta With Tuna and Pesto Sauce in two easy steps :

  1. Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta. In a large pasta bowl, break up the tuna. Heat the olive oil in a small frying pan or saucepan over medium heat, and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, just until fragrant, and remove from the heat. Add to the tuna and the pesto sauce then mix together.
  2. When the pasta is al dente, drain and transfer to the bowl with the tuna and pesto sauce then toss everything together, and serve. Pass the Parmesan at the table.

I forgot to buy fresh basil for the garnish so i used Chili leaves as a replacement. Good thing it looks perfectly the same. Yey!

For some reason the tuna and pesto combination never occurred to me – looks great! I too love fusilli with tuna… it seems to pick up all of the tasty bits.
