  • 1/4 cup Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen baby peas
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp salt

    • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in sauté pan set over medium heat; stir in peas, onion and salt. Cover and cook for 3 minutes or until peas are thawed. Remove from heat and set aside.
    • In large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving ½ cup of cooking water, and return pasta to pot. Add pea mixture, tuna, pepper, lemon zest, and remaining oil. Toss well, adding just enough reserved water to moisten.
