Step 1
Boil elbow pasta in salted water until al dente, about 8 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water.
Step 2
Transfer cooled pasta to a large bowl and flake in the drained tuna, breaking it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Add frozen peas directly to the bowl — they'll thaw from the warm pasta — then fold in mayo until everything is evenly coated.
Step 4
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then chill until ready to serve or eat at room temperature.
