Easy Tuna Pasta Food

QUICK AND EASY TUNA PASTA

Steps:

• I like to use a wok to make this dish, just because you can use it easily to serve up by bringing it to the table and everybody can help themselves. You will also need a colander.
• Start by boiling a pan of water and start cooking the pasta. I always add a drop of olive oil to the pasta when I am boiling it. Then chop the onion and fry it in the olive oil in the wok until soft, then add the sweet corn (after draining the water from the tin) and fry for about 1 minute. Turn off the heat on the wok.
• Then drain the tuna in the colander over the sink to get rid of the brine/oil. Make sure the tuna is broken up and the liquid drained.
• When the pasta is cooked pour it over the tuna in the colander (make sure the colander is over the sink ???? ) to drain the pasta from the water. Then add the hot pasta/tuna to the wok and put the wok on very low heat while you mix everything together.
• Finally, remove from the heat, add the Mayonnaise to taste, and season with salt and pepper to suit. You could make it look fancy by adding some chopped coriander (but we don't normally bother!).
