Makes a filling lunch for one. Serves two as a side with a cup of light soup (such as tomato). I make it the night before to toss in my lunch bag the next day.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup elbow macaroni
  • 1 (3 ounce) can tuna in olive oil, undrained (I use Genova)
  • 1 small tomato, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (or less to preference)
  • 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese (or more to taste)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)

Directions
  1. Cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine macaroni and tuna (undrained - the olive oil is key to the recipe). Gently break up tuna while mixing.
  3. Add tomato, basil and lemon juice. Combine well.
  4. Mix in Parmesan cheese.
  5. Add salt and pepper to taste. Combine well.
  6. Chill to allow flavors to blend at least one hour or overnight.

I cannot wait to try this, this sounds perfect for lunch! Two of my favorite munchies, Tuna AND Pasta! Just perfect :) I'm in NC and honestly I've never seen Tuna in olive oil here, only vegetable oil or canola oil...will the oil really make all the difference?
