During the week I love quick and easy meals that are tasty. Therefore I’m always trying new recipes to feed my little family and of course with you too. Pesto is a very simple sauce to prepare. Plus it will go in and on so many different dishes. The best way to eat pesto is with pasta but in recent months I’ve found it goes well with potatoes too. I decided to throw in the tuna and we had a delicious meal. We loved this dish and we hope you will too.

Tuna, Potato and Pesto was a really yummy dish that we all enjoyed. It was easy to prepare and cook. It would make great leftover too. I made the pesto at the weekend and froze it for during the week. You could also peel the potatoes the night before and soak in water overnight. That way it makes this dish really easy to cook. However you decide to eat this meal, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
