Tuna casserole pasta


We were facing a pretty empty fridge the other day, and as we usually do with an empty fridge, we turned to the freezer and the pantry to clear some things out. In this case, we found some frozen peas, frozen corn, and canned tuna. It was a little like an inside-out tuna casserole, and it was actually quite delicious, although Ed was upset that I'd put something so simple and boring on the food blog... we can't always eat like kings, ya know, Ed!

Anyway, this was a tasty little pile o' glop. We had found a green pepper and some celery dying in the crisper, so that went into a frying pan first, hopefully to kill anything trying to invade our green things... Then we threw in the tuna. The corn and peas got thawed out, and then we added those to the mix. A little olive oil, a dash of lemon juice, and some salt and pepper, and the meal was complete. We put it over some whole wheat pasta, which Ed claims to not like as much, but I like the slightly tougher texture to it. Probably the same reason I prefer rigatoni to angel hair, or something like that.
