Italian Inspired 10 Minute Tuna Pasta Salad

I learned this one from my Italian friends back in 2002 when I was in Italy for a month. I've since played around with it a lot. So there are lots of variations. And it's probably no longer authentic, but it makes a great easy lunch, dinner or snack none-the-less.


Ingredients (this recipe is so flexible, so use what you have to hand):
- 1 can tuna (large can)
- Cooked wholemeal pasta (spirals or penne is good) 
- Kalamata olives (or other of your choice)
- Garlic (you can saute it briefly if you prefer)
- Lemon juice
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Marinated mixed vegetables in a jar (you can get from Italian Food Warehouse). This is the most authentic option. OR fresh seasonal vegetables work well too. In this example, I used: baby spinach, basil, roasted capsicum, and fresh tomato.
