one 15 ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed
one 7 ounce package tuna, drained
Grated peel of 1 lemon, plus 1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)

3. In same skillet add garlic and 1/4 cup of the evoo and cook over med high heat until golden, 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook until softened about 4 min. Add reserved pasta water and bring to a simmer. Stir in green beans and cannellini beans and cook until tender.
