Tuna Spinach Pasta Salad

tun5


This was the result of hunger + lack of groceries. But with not much more than the very basics (canned tuna and pasta...) it's possible to make a fairly tasty meal.

You Will Need:


1. Two cups Rigatoni pasta


2. One 5oz can tuna


3. Two tbsp. Parmesan cheese


4. One cup frozen spinach


5. One (or two) tbsp. mayo


6. Two tbsp. mustard


7. Pinch of garlic (or garlic powder)


8. Salt + Pepper to taste

First, boil the Rigatoni for around 10 minutes. In the meantime, cook the frozen spinach. If you use pre-chopped spinach, you can skip the chopping part. I used whole spinach leaves so I had to cut them up myself and cook in frying pan with a pinch of garlic. Let the garlic brown a bit before adding the spinach to pan-fry. When fully cooked, remove from heat.

In a mixing bowl, add in the tuna, mayo, spinach, mustard and Parmesan. Gently fold together a bit. When the pasta is done boiling, add pasta to the mix and fold together. Add salt + pepper to taste. You can either serve warm or let cool in the fridge for a half hour to an hour. Either way is yum.


Enjoy!
