Episode 405 - Pasta Salad with Tuna ,Apple & Raisins

Delicious Bow Ties in Creamy Mayo with Tuna Chunks & Apple cuts

This is another quick recipe without much mess in the kitchen. All you need to do is to cook some pasta as directed on the packet and mix the pasta with anything that you like! As for me, I'm mixing it with some freshly cut apples, carrots and drizzle it with raisins, adding some colour to it. This is a great side dish. I used the bow tie Pasta. I think I've mentioned before that it can be quite hard in the centre so add another few more minutes when you boil them.

Ingredients:
4 cups of Bow tie Pasta; boiled as directed on packet (add 2 minutes more)
1 1/2 cups of apple; cut in cubes
1 handful of raisins
1/2 cup of carrot; cut in small cubes
1 can of Tuna flakes; drained
4 tbspns of Mayonnaise

Method:
Just dump everything in a mixing bowl and mix well.

Serves: 4

*Tip*: If the pasta looks a little but too dry, you can save some of the tuna flakes oil and drizzle a tablespoon in or add some more mayo to the mix.
