    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until tender, then drain and set aside.

    While the pasta cooks, melt the butter with the minced garlic in a large skillet over medium heat; sauté about 1 minute until fragrant (do not brown).

  3. 3

    Add the frozen peas with a pinch of salt and pepper; cook 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  4. 4

    Stir in the Alfredo sauce and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring, 2-3 minutes until warmed through.

  5. 5

    Add the drained pasta and stir to coat. Sprinkle in the Parmesan and stir until melted; turn off the heat.

  6. 6

    Gently fold in the drained tuna, keeping some chunks. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve warm.
