- 1 6.7 oz jar Toninno Tuna Fillets with Lemon & Pepper

While fusilli is cooking, make the alfredo sauce.

Remove from heat, and whisk in grated parmesan, continuing to stir until cheese is melted, and sauce is smooth.
Once the sauce is ready...
Toss the drained fusilli lightly with the alfredo sauce, until well coated with sauce.
