  1. In a bowl, flake the tuna chunks with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, red onion and gherkin, and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. Flake the Pams Tuna chunks into the pan, then add the drained pasta and reserved cooking liquid. Lightly toss the pasta to incorporate all of the ingredients, then fold through the grated parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
