LOW FODMAP PESTO TUNA PASTA Recipe

This creamy pasta is another low-FODMAP adaptation of one of my childhood favorites, and it couldn’t be easier to make. If you already have frozen portions of the broth and Spinach Basil Pesto on hand, it’ll really come together in a flash. Add a side of steamed vegetables, and you’ve got a balanced weeknight meal.
