Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 lb farfalle pasta (you can use any pasta, really , i just like this shape as it works well with the tuna)
2 garlic cloves
1 lemon
1/4 cup fresh basil leaf , packed
6 oz albacore tuna in water, well drained
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved ( i prefer sweet 100s left whole.)

salt & freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Boil pasta in salted water.
