Ingredients
2 cups fresh basil leaves (no stems)
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 large cloves garlic
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese or pecorino romano
1 (5 ounce) canned tuna
3 cups fresh bite sized pasta
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
In a food processor, add the basil leaves, pine nuts and garlic and process until minced. Slowly add the olive oil and cheese and process until smooth. This should yield about one cup of pesto.
Cook the pasta according to package instructions and set aside.
In a large bowl, add the tuna, half cup of pesto, mayonnaise, pasta, and lemon juice.
