Tuna & sun-dried tomato pasta salad

A cold pasta salad built from cupboard staples. Pesto and capers carry the flavour, and it keeps well enough to make the night before.

Cook the penne in salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and run under cold water to stop it cooking. Leave to cool completely.
Whisk the green pesto and olive oil together in a bowl to make a loose dressing.
Add the cooled penne and turn until it is coated all over.
Fold through the drained tuna in large flakes, the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, red onion and capers. Keep the tuna in pieces rather than breaking it up.
Season and serve now, or chill until needed, ideally for 1 hour, because it tastes better that way.
