Tuna pasta recipe please URGENT

abbecer

My DH is on nights tonight and i want to do him something other than sandwiches. He works outdoors and can't warm anything up. I thought about tuna pasta as i have these in the cupboard. What can i add other than salad as he always complains that salad goes soggy. It needs to be quick to prepare also as he sets off soon. Thanks in advance.

Hi abecer

I hope this isn't too late for you. This is a favourite lunch that my children take to school:

Fry chopped onion, garlic and green pepper in a little olive oil. Then add baby tomatoes and tinned sweetcorn. Finally add black pepper and your choice of herbs for extra flavour.

Cook the pasta - I usually use fusilli (the twisty one)

Drain pasta and mix in other ingredients and some tinned tuna or cooked chicken.

Serve either hot or cold....if having it cold you can add mayonaise too.

Thanks for your reply. I have already done it but my concoction was actually pretty similar to yours. I will definitely try this another day as i do think he gets fed up of sandwiches!! Thanks again for your reply.
