• 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))

Preparazione

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.

   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.
