QUICK AND EASY TUNA PASTA



Quick and Easy Tuna Pasta image

This quick and easy pasta with tuna is ready in less than 15 minutes and is also great as a tuna salad.

Provided by Gav

Categories     Mains

Time 14m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tins of tuna in brine (or oil)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
300g Dried Pasta (I like using Farfalle or Penne, but really you can use whatever you prefer)
3 tbsp Hellmann's Mayonnaise
1/2 small tin of sweet corn
Salt and pepper
Chopped fresh coriander

Steps:

  • I like to use a wok to make this dish, just because you can use it easily to serve up by bringing it to the table and everybody can help themselves. You will also need a colander.
  • Start by boiling a pan of water and start cooking the pasta. I always add a drop of olive oil to the pasta when I am boiling it. Then chop the onion and fry it in the olive oil in the wok until soft, then add the sweet corn (after draining the water from the tin) and fry for about 1 minute. Turn off the heat on the wok.
  • Then drain the tuna in the colander over the sink to get rid of the brine/oil. Make sure the tuna is broken up and the liquid drained.
  • When the pasta is cooked pour it over the tuna in the colander (make sure the colander is over the sink ???? ) to drain the pasta from the water. Then add the hot pasta/tuna to the wok and put the wok on very low heat while you mix everything together.
  • Finally, remove from the heat, add the Mayonnaise to taste, and season with salt and pepper to suit. You could make it look fancy by adding some chopped coriander (but we don't normally bother!).

TUNA PASTA SALAD



Tuna Pasta Salad image

Make sure to add enough salt/seasoning for maximum flavor. For this much pasta, you must add enough salt to bring out the tasty flavors. Best part about this salad is that you can totally customize it the way you want. Add more of less of any ingredient to make it perfect to your personal taste! For the tuna, we found a big flavor and texture difference by using the solid white chunk albacore tuna vs the chunk light style tunas. Feel free to use more or less tuna depending on your personal taste preference.

  • Put the pasta to boil in water with a spoonful of salt, which after they have boiled, we have to cool them under a stream of water. Until the pasta boils, we will clean and cut the vegetables. I start with the cucumber that I will cut into not too big cubes. I will do the same with spring onions and the sweet red bell pepper, which I will cut into not very small pieces.
  • I put the salad mix in the bowl over which I put the cucumbers cut into cubes. Follow the rest of the vegetables, spring onions and red bell peppers cut in cubes. Then add the canned tuna with oil and canned corn strained with its own liquid. I seasoned with sea salt, ground pepper and dried oregano, after which I mixed everything lightly. Now I add the cooked and drained pasta and two-thirds of the chopped chives and the juice from a lemon, and mix again.
  • Taste and if necessary season more and because the pasta absorbed a lot of the juice from the salad, I added a little sunflower oil. Rest 15 minutes and serve at room temperature, on a flat plate, sprinkled with the remaining chives chopped on top and a glass of white wine.
