Quick & Easy Tuna Pasta Salad

in Foodies Bee Hive3 years ago (edited)

Hi foodies! Thought to share one of the quick & simplest dish I have created - my version of Tuna Pasta Salad. While going through my kitchen cabinet one day hunting for a quick meal, there I saw a pack of pasta, few canned tuna and mushroom and I figured why not make a pasta salad. To prepare the ingredients, most of the ingredients are easily available in grocery stores.

Ingredients:

  1. Spiral pasta / Fusili (about 500 gsm)
  2. Canned tuna flakes in olive oil / sunflower oil (2 cans, 150g each) – slightly mash up the tuna in bowl
  3. Canned button mushroom (1 can, 425g) – cut into slices
  4. Garlic (about 6 to 8 cloves, reduce or add more as preferred) – minced
  5. Olive oil / vegetable oil
  6. Salt
  7. Cherry tomato & fresh parsley (optional)
    Prepare ingredients from 2 to 4 above for cooking.

Recipe for about 400gsm of pasta, can be adjust accordingly based on preferences and servings size.

Method:
Pasta -
Fill a large pot with water bring it to boil over stove.
Add a pinch of salt into the water. This helps flavour the pasta and reduce the cooking time.
Bring the water into a full rolling boil and place pasta into the boiling water.
Let pasta cook for about 8 - 12 mins, drain the water and set aside.
