Tuna Pesto with Parmesan Cheese


Before sleeping earlier this morning, I decided to cook one of the best ingredients I have bought so far. I have been very eager to try this, most especially that I really love eating Pastas. However, due to this negative review I have read online with this McCormick seasoning mix, I became too hesitant to try it out because it might not taste delicious with the pasta I have been dreaming to cook for such a long time. Haha!

One of my former officemates taught me how to cook this pasta, but since I do not have enough tools in the kitchen, I was left with no choice but to buy cooked pasta instead.
I already know how to cook different types of pastas from white to red, however this pasta is my favorite of all and I am really clueless where to buy the ingredients. Ahaha! Thank you to McCormick Pesto seasoning; as I can already cook my favorite Tuna Pesto.  
I should have not let the negative review stopped me from trying this seasoning, because the instant pesto mix is really delicious! Way more delicious than the actual tuna pesto I have tasted! Super! It doesn’t taste commercialized at all, and really sumptuous! Of course, being the home made chef scientist wanna- be, I didn’t follow the recipe included on the seasoning mix, and tweaked it a bit.



What you need:
1 pack of McCormick Pesto
1 can of tuna lite
1 cup of nestle Cream
¼ noodles, or whatever you want to use. (I used macaroni) hehe
1 ½ tablespoon of olive oil
1 cup of water
Grated Parmesan Cheese

What you need to do:
♥ Cook the pasta. Set aside.
♥ On a sauce pan, put the oil, water and pesto mix. Let it boil. If its too salty, you may add more water.
Add the cream.
♥ Let it simmer for 5 more minutes
♥ Add the tuna.
♥ Top the sauce with the cooked pasta. Add the Parmesan cheese
♥ Serve and eat!
