Ingredients:
  • 8-ounces dry cheese tortellini
  • ¼ cup diced sun-dried tomatoes
  • ¼ cup diced dried shallots
  • 4-ounce package tomato pesto flavored tuna
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (1 packet)

Instructions:

At home pack the pasta and vegetables in a sandwich bag, sealing tightly. Pack the tuna, oil and cheese packets with it.

Add 4 cups water and the contents of the pasta bag in your pot. Bring to a boil. Once the water boils, lower the heat on your stove and simmer for a couple minutes. Turn off the stove and let sit for 5 minutes. In cool temperatures put the pot in a cozy to retain heat.

Drain off any remaining water carefully, then mix in the oil and tuna. Heat up if desired for a couple seconds, sprinkle in the cheese.

Serves 2.
Notes:
For the pasta, we used 3 Cheese Tortellini by Barilla.
