Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat fusilli according to package directions for al dente texture.
During the last 2 minutes of pasta cooking, add the frozen sweet peas to the boiling water to blanch them.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and peas together in a colander.
While the pasta drains, finely mince the garlic and chop the fresh dill.
In the same pot used for the pasta, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Return the pasta and peas to the pot, adding the drained tuna, lemon zest, lemon juice, and the reserved pasta water.
Toss everything gently over low heat for 1 minute to combine and warm the tuna through.
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh dill, sea salt, and black pepper before serving in a shallow bowl.
