Ingredients
- 2 x 220g packs ready-cooked pasta (we used Dolmio Express), or 440g leftover cooked penne (about 200g dried)
- 100g can tuna in oil
- 400g can cannellini beans , (borlotti or butterbeans are also good)
- 1⁄2 red onion , finely chopped
- zest and juice 1 lemon
- large handful parsley
Instructions
- Microwave the cooked penne according to pack instructions. Tip into a bowl. Mix through the remaining ingredients (the warm pasta will really soak up the flavours). If using chilled leftover pasta, simply mix everything together – it will still taste great. Can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.
