- 1 8 oz box rotini pasta (I used Banza)

- salt and pepper
- 1 bunch lacinato kale finely sliced
- 3 5 oz cans wild albacore tuna in water drained and broken up

Instructions
- Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente, according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta into a colander.
- While the pasta cooks, cook the broccoli. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the broccoli and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes or until the broccoli is tender and browned. Set aside.
- Toss together the kale, tuna, cooked pasta, and Caesar dressing in a large mixing bowl.
- Divide the mixture onto four plates and top with the broccoli and sliced Parmesan.
