**Salvaged
1- Prepare pasta according to box directions, with an added cup for later. Boil on the shorter side for an al dente taste.
2- Follow directions above from "Heat olive oil..." to "and black pepper
3- Add one cup hot pasta water AND BROCCOLI FLORETS to the pan. Let simmer.
4- Once pasta is done, drain and return to the pot. Add tuna mixture to pot.
I melted a couple tablespoons of butter over the mixture.

The result is a zesty lemon forward, crisp pasta dish. The broccoli turned out soft but not soggy. Could be served cold. Tuna is hit or miss when reheated
