Recipes with tuna and spaghetti?!
Recipes with tuna and spaghetti?
I am in a college dorm, and this is the last week I will be here. I am trying to get rid of any leftover food I have so I don't have to take it home. Luckily, I am having a party today so I can do that.
I have 4 cans of tuna, 18 oz mayo, and a box of spaghetti. May I have a recipe for a pasta salad with tuna, or two separate recipes for tuna salad and spaghetti salad?

try making spaghetti pie cook the scets sauce it up put it in a pie crust with your favorite toppings bake it till it's golden brown
Sorry, but that all just sounds gross.....
Or, what if you made little tuna fish sandwiches for everyone. This might help to get rid of all of the mayonaise. You could make them with bread or croissants and them cut them in half or in quarters. You could cut the crusts off of the bread to make it look nicer. You could add celery to the tuna/mayo mixture to jazz it up. Or, you could roll the tuna salad in pita with provolone and make tuna roll-ups or tuna pita pockets.
I like pasta salad with tuna in it but I think 4 cans would be too much. Usually, I will use one can for one 16-oz box of pasta. And, I think 1-8oz jar of mayo would be more than enough. You could add cut-up hard boiled eggs to the salad if you like.
You could make a warm spaghetti side dish by mixing it with sauce after you cooked it. Or, you could cook the spaghetti and then fry it until it's light brown, in butter with onions and garlic (I usually do this with left over pasta - I've heard it referred to as poor man's pierogi).
I hope you have a great party!!
I LOOOOOOOOOVE TUNA AND NOODLES
- serve cold or hot
i love, love love love, and I am extremely picky. Like literally, and I would be shocked that anyone would actually eat this dish, if I wasn't introduced at birth.
Anyway its really easy
- cook the noodles
- warm up cream of mushroom soup
- mix the noodles, a can of cream of mushroom soup (or two cans) and mix in your can of tuna.
its yummy
Then you should try the tuna, shrimp, crab meat, tomatoes, pasta shells also the mayo, and ranch dressing. Topped bacon bits or real bacon. Pick up two boxes of Suddenly Salad.
Hi Jo!!!!!i totally agree with Andissama's idea.....its chic and fun!
