Hello readers... Today I had a little helper and her choice in lunch was this easy tuna pasta dish. This is a childhood lunch for me and I've now past it on. Its such and easy tuna pasta recipe when you are a busy parent and even my four year can do it ;). Evelyn enjoys getting involved in the kitchen so I bought her her own set of child friendly knives to help me out when I cook. Its also a great way of teaching her some life skills as well as a good little task for us to do together.
Ingredients:
Dried pasta 500g
2 tins of tuna in spring water
Bell peppers x1 or a half of 2 different colours for variety, diced
Cucumber x1/4 of a large diced
Red onion x 1/2 diced
Salt and pepper
Mayonnaise 150g
Sprinkle of white pepper, not needed but I think it gives it an extra suttin' suttin'!
On the side, handful of mixed salad
Squeeze of lime juice all over
Lets make it:
Put pasta in a pan of salted water to boil for allocated time on pack, 8-10 mins.
While pasta is cooking lets prep our salad, chop cucumber, bell peppers, red onion in the small cubes.
When pasta done, rinse and drain.
Add pasta to a mixing bowl.
Add all other ingredients, cucumber, peppers, onion, mayonnaise, salt and pepper and mix it all together.
Portion out a plate or bowl with your side salad and squeeze of lime.
And voila, super easy!
