3. Drain the peas pasta!.
4. Add in the tuna, mayo, pesto, kale and plenty of cheese. I usually use 1 can of tuna, a large handful, or a couple, of kale (I have small hands and kale shrinks when cooked), plenty of pepper and herbs, a dash of salt and lots of cheese :) I have the queezy mayo bottles and add plenty - hold down for about 5 seconds.
