Tuna and kale pasta
If you want to provide your body with a proper dose of vitamins, choose kale. The nutritional value of this vegetable is well known: it contains antioxidants and is also rich in vitamin K, vitamin C, folic acid and calcium.
Kale works great in cocktails, sauces and salads. Recently, I made pasta with kale, tomatoes and tuna, below you can find a recipe for it.

Good to know when making tuna and kale pasta.
Before cutting the tomatoes, I scalded them in hot water, then I peeled them off. In order for the peel to come off from the tomatoes easily and quickly, just put them in boiling water for 10 seconds.
I used tuna in water brine. You can also use tuna in oil or on its own brine.
