Thunfisch-Pesto-Pasta

Zutaten

• 7 oz pasta ((Note 1))
• 1/3 cup pesto ((Note 2))
• 1 6 oz can tuna ((Note 3))
• 1/2 tsp anchovy paste (optional)
• 2 cups spinach (optional) ((Note 4))

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Place a pan of water on a high heat and salt generously. Add the pasta when the water starts to boil and cook according to the packet instructions.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, mix the tuna, pesto and optional anchovy paste in a bowl.

3. 3

   Reserve 1-2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining with a colander.

4. 4

   Set the cooked pasta aside, place the pasta pan on a medium to low heat (or use a new pan if you prefer), add the spinach and cook for a couple of minutes until wilted.

5. 5

   Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the pesto, tuna and anchovy paste mixture.

6. 6

   Add the pasta and mix thoroughly. Add a little of the reserved pasta water if the pasta looks like it could benefit from some additional moisture.

7. 7

   Serve immediately with freshly ground black pepper.
