Drain the water from the pasta and transfer it to a bowl containing chilled water.
-
3
Once your cooked pasta has cooled, drain it into a dish.

4
Pour two tablespoons of olive oil on the drained pasta and mix it well. This will keep the pasta from sticking together.

5
Open two cans of tuna and drain the water or oil in it.

6
Put the tuna into a medium size mixing bowl. If your tuna was packed in olive oil, don’t add any seasoning to it. Simply dice it into smaller pieces using a fork.
-
7
Mix ¼ cup of minced red onions, 1 cup frozen peas and 1 cup frozen corns to the shredded tuna.
-
8
Also add parsley and dill for seasoning, but it is totally optional and you can skip both these ingredients.

Combine cooked pasta and cheese with the tuna mixture and mix well.
