Pasta with Tuna and Lamb's Lettuce-Almond Pesto

Dear friends, as you know, I'm following a diet, and the great thing about diets is that the restrictions can inspire you to create and try new recipes.
Today I skipped my usual snack of nuts, so I needed to include them in lunch, which called for whole grain rice pasta with tuna and a vegetable of my choice. I had some leftover lamb's lettuce in the fridge that wasn't super fresh anymore.
So I made this pesto with lamb's lettuce and almonds.
Give it a try!

Steps
- 1
For the pesto: Wash and dry the lamb's lettuce. Place it in a food processor with salt and olive oil to taste, the almonds, and garlic (I used garlic powder because I find it easier to digest, but you can use a fresh garlic clove if you prefer). For a richer version, add a few shavings of Grana Padano or Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Blend, pausing frequently so the lamb's lettuce doesn't overheat and lose its flavor.
- 2
Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta.
- 3
Drain the tuna if it's packed in oil.
- 4
Transfer the pesto and tuna to a large bowl. When the pasta is cooked, add it to the bowl and mix well. If needed, drizzle with a little extra olive oil. And that's it!
