How to Make Tuna Pasta Florentine

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and begin to brown (about 5-7 minutes). Set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the light sour cream and pesto. Heat over low heat, stirring frequently, until smooth and warmed through (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Add the spinach to the saucepan with the sour cream and pesto mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
  5. Add the cooked pasta, sauteed mushrooms, halved tomatoes, drained tuna, oregano, and lemon juice to the saucepan.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Stir gently to combine everything. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until heated through. Serve immediately and enjoy!
