Directions
Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan or skillet. Meanwhile, empty tuna can into a small bowl; gently flake into chunks with a fork and set aside.
Add pasta, garlic powder and salt to boiling water; return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the water is absorbed and the pasta is tender. Stir in peas, lemon juice, lemon zest and pepper; cook 1 minute.
Remove from heat; gently stir in tuna with oil. Serve with toppings, as desired.
