This is a modernized version of two recipes that my Italian mother-in-law gave me. Sun-dried tomatoes in place of heavy tomato sauce, fresh peas in place of canned, and Bumble Bee® Solid White Albacore Tuna in Water in place of tuna in oil. With only a few ingredients that may be kept on the shelf, you can make this tasty supper quickly.

Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta, cooked and kept warm
- 2 (5 ounce) cans Bumble Bee® Solid White Albacore Tuna in Water, undrained
- 1 (6 ounce) package frozen peas
- 8 ounces fresh peas, rinsed
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ½ cup julienne cut sun-dried tomatoes with herbs, drained, oil reserved
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 pinch Crushed red pepper flakes to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese for topping (Optional)
Instructions
- Place the oil from the sun dried tomatoes in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add in onions and garlic. Cook over medium heat until onions begin to turn translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the broth to the onions and bring to a simmer.
- Stir in the peas and the sun dried tomatoes. Cook for another 3 minutes. Peas should remain crisp so be careful not to over cook.
- Stir in undrained tuna and heat through. Be careful not to break up too many large pieces of the tuna while stirring. Cook about 2-3 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste and crushed red pepper if desired.
- Serve immediately over hot pasta. Garnish with parsley and top with grated Parmesan cheese.
- You can use any pasta you like. Serve with crusty bread and a crisp green salad.

Reviews
We normally make it sans peas as we often forget then at the store. It’s a simple and quick dish that is very tasty over pasta!
Surprisingly really good. Had all the ingredients in the house already. I added capers and used a frozen pack of mixed vegetables because that’s what I had. Oh and a little lemon juice.
