I have been making this incredibly EASY, yet YUMMY pasta salad since I was a new mom! My boys love it, and ask for it every week! (no joke!) It's made with ingredients that most have on hand, so it's a great go to recipe when you need to make something good for unexpected guests or when your kids are looking for something 'different' for lunch than 'corn dogs'! :) If you like pasta salads, I bet you'll like this one!
'Tuna and Peas' Pasta Salad with Red Wine Vinaigrette!
|
Makes me want to eat some, just looking at it! :) |
|
Make up the vinaigrette~ 3/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup cooking sherry, 1 Tbsp spicy brown mustard, 1 tsp sugar, 3/4 tsp salt, fresh pepper, 1/2 tsp minced garlic~ stir well to emulsify! |
|
Cook 1 pound of noodles til al-dende (we like to make this with these 'cork screw' noodles, or shells) strain in strainer and rinse with cold water to cool down noodles as well as you can. |
! |
Take a pound of frozen PETITE peas, and pour the bag on top of the cooled down noodles in strainer~ |
|
Rinse with cold water til peas are thawed. The frozen peas help cool down the noodles even more! No need to cook the peas! |
|
Transfer all to a big bowl, or into cooled down pot! Add 2 or 3 cans of drained tuna, and all of the vinaigrette you prepared! |
|
Stir well, and serve in bowls! EASY, EASY, EASY!! Hope your family loves it as much as mine does! |
