Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once it reaches a rolling boil, add your pasta of choice, such as elbow macaroni or rotini. Cook the pasta for about 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain the pasta in a colander and let it cool to room temperature.

In a large mixing bowl, add the cooled pasta, 1 can of drained tuna, and a cup of peas—fresh or frozen. Use a spatula to gently fold these ingredients together, making sure the tuna is flaked well.

Add a generous amount of mayonnaise along with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together until the pasta, tuna, and peas are thoroughly coated with the creamy dressing.

For a refreshing finish, cover your Tuna Pasta Salad with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
