An even better idea is to not use mayo at all, but Italian salad dressing. It is lower calorie, lighter, and a refreshing change!
I throw in unchopped baby carrots, chopped green pepper and grape tomatoes for a tuna and pasta salad that gets raves. Of course without the mayo as above.
cook some egg noddles until tender and cool with cold water add tuna, old bay seasoning, tomato with no seed, chopped onion, chopped fresh spinach and mayo.

Pasta Salad with tuna and broccoli
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 head broccoli, separated into florets
* 1 pound penne pasta
* 1 pound fresh tuna steaks
* 1/4 cup water
* 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
* 1/4 cup white wine
* 4 medium tomatoes, quartered
* 1 pound mozzarella cheese, diced
* 8 large black olives, sliced
* 1/2 cup walnut pieces, toasted
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
* 4 anchovy fillets, rinsed
* 3/4 cup olive oil
DIRECTIONS:
Put a large pot of salted water on to boil; use this water to blanch the broccoli and cook the pasta. Blanch broccoli in boiling water. When it is al dente, transfer broccoli to a bowl of ice water. Drain thoroughly.
Cook penne in salted, boiling water until al dente. Drain. Rinse under cold running water until completely cooled, and then drain completely.
Meanwhile, place tuna in a skillet with water, white wine, and lemon juice. Cover, and cook until done. Break fish into chunks.
Combine broccoli, penne, fish, tomatoes, cheese, olives, walnuts, garlic, and parsley in a large serving bowl.
Heat olive oil in small pan over low heat. Cut anchovy fillets into small pieces, add to the olive oil, and mash with a fork until they dissolve. Do not let oil get too hot. Pour oil-anchovy mixture over salad. Toss, and serve immediately.
I got a great one off Kraftfoods.com..... go there they have all kinds of great easy pastas!
Usually in pasta salad you can use pretty much whatever kind of pasta you want. I found a great one in the last cooking light magazine. Just cook your pasta, then drain your tuna, mix those together, get some lemon zest (about a 1/2 a tablespoon), a lemon for the lemon juice, and grape tomatoes cut in half. Throw all those together and put them in the fridge for about an hour. You can make this one hot or cold, but I preferred it cold.
