Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and rinse under cold water.

Step 3

Put frozen peas into a colander and rinse with hot water; drain well.

Place macaroni and peas in a large bowl. Dice eggs and add to the bowl. Put tuna in the bowl, flaking it apart.
