  • 2 packs (160 g) smoked tuna TRATA
  • 1 pack (500 g) whole grain pasta
  • 100 g walnuts
  • 200 g beets, boiled
  • 1 clove of garlic

Method

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Open the cans of tuna and save the oil to make the pesto. Heat a saute pan or skillet on medium-high heat. Spread walnuts in single layer and toast until lightly golden-brown. Pulverize the walnuts in a food processor. Empty the pulverized walnuts from the processor into a bowl. Dice the beets and place them in the food processor. Add the tuna oil, vinegar and garlic and blend until you have a smooth pesto sauce. Transfer the pesto to a large bowl and stir in the pulverized walnuts. When the pasta is done, drain and toss with the pesto. Serve placing the smoked tuna on top.
