Ingredients
  

  • 250 grams pasta medium sized seashell kind
  • 150 grams canned tuna strained of liquids
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup red onion finely diced
  • 2 green onion finely chopped
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot filled with enough water, bring it to a boil. Add about 2 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water. Boil your pasta according to package instructions and add 1-2 minutes to the cooking time. We want the pasta to be a little bit softer than Al-dente. Trust me on this.
  • Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl, combine raw broccoli florets, strained tuna, green onions, mayonnaise until well combined.
  • Strain cooked pasta in a colander and rinse with cold running water until pasta is cold. Shake off as much excess water as possible.
  • Add pasta to the large mixing bowl. Mix with a spatula until pasta is combined with other ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Optional: Chill for 30 minutes in the fridge to let the flavors soak in or enjoy immediately.
