Using up tuna pasta bake?

We had it for dinner last night and there's half left. I need to serve it up with something - not salad or veg. Other half loves neither, he's not that keen on fish but I insist that we have it once a week.

What can I serve the cold bake with? Ideas?

    Something cheesy, cauliflower cheese? I love cheese and tuna. Maybe it's not for everyone though :)
  • Garlic bread or cheesy garlic bread. Tomatoes, halved or quartered, seasoned with salt & pepper, sprinkling of herbs or spice of your choice, drizzle of olive oil and whack in the oven for 20-30 mins, could add some grated cheese in last 10 mins of cooking.

    There is nothing that is not improved by a jacket potato - and you can stick any sort of dressing on that, including chilli sauce that cheers up most things (my own preference would be a chilli / mayo mix)
    Would he eat cole slaw?

    Myself, I'd boil up some fish or veg stock, put the lot in and make a thick soup; sneak in a bit of sweetcorn, maybe a spoon or two of cream / creme fraiche, season with paprika, and serve with bread.
    But I know some who think anything eaten with a spoon is not a 'meal'

    Coleslaw and crusty bread sounds nice with it.

    Why not freeze it so you're not having to eat the same things two days in a row. Failing that cheesey garlic bread with be my first choice to serve with it
  • I wouldn't have it cold.

    You could try filling a flan case with it, add a bit of extra milk/egg if needed to make a custard for the filling, top with some tomato slices for extra colour, and bake.
