I came home far too late yesterday to blog my Tandy Tuesday pasta recipe for the week. I of course would not let it slide, as I love being a part of the Presto Pasta Nights community. This recipe has been a firm favourite of mine for a long time. It is what I would call a cheat’s recipe, using tinned ingredients, or what my friend Pink calls Meals In Minutes. No matter what you call it, give it a try. A version of this recipe appeared originally in Lavender and Lime.

Life is usually so busy, that it’s awesome to have a “cheat” dish, especially when it looks this good. Thanks for being such a great Presto Pasta Night regular.
thanks Ruth, it is my pleasure
this look like amazing , i wnat to eat
This sounds good though tuna lasagne was ruined by bad varsity dining hall meals, I’ve avoided it since then, but this has inspired me to try it again sometime!
I promise it will be better than uni!
This looks great !
I hope you don’t mind if I pin it ?
Thanks for the printable version and good luck.
of course I don’t mind! Have a super day
I adore tuna and pasta – a perfect combination!
it is another of my comfort food recipes!
Do you think I could do this with fresh tuna? Got a whole load of tuna offcuts in my freezer and do’nt really know what to do with them. And – on another note – did you see that my wine course is about to start in Stellenbosch? would be fab to see you on it!! All details on my site – http://www.cathymarston.co.za
You can do it with fresh tuna for sure – it will be better with longfin than any other fresh tuna, but this is a good way to use up the bits and pieces! I am going to be in JNB for the next course and so will hope that the one after that in Stellenbosch is one I can attend
Easiest recipe ever and best of all my 4 year old loves it.
I still love it!
I think I’ll make this tonight
enjoy!
