Sweet Corn & Tuna Pasta (Vegan)

Does anyone remember the viral sweet corn & tuna pasta from a couple years ago that body builders would eat because it was an easy low fat and high protein meal? Well, I just made it vegan! The plant-based tuna in water has the BEST flavor, texture, and even smell of any other vegan tuna brands I have tried. It is so similar that it would fool anyone. Your tastebuds are going to love this super easy lunch recipe.
