Simply Delish Tuna and Pasta

Whitesnake and I have had a busy week. We watched the All Blacks kick Australias butts :) I caught up with a friend I haven't seen for FOUR years and it was great. Whitesnake and I took a drive to the airport, we took a wrong turn but got there in the end. Our laptop decided to go on a strike and we had to buy a new one. Best of all, we were lucky enough to spend three days off together. Last night, we decided to have a light dinner and here it is, it was delish.

500g pasta

425g canned tuna
4 chopped spring onions
1/2 cup parmesan
1/4 cup of mayo
1 tbs wholegrain mustard
chilli flakes
steamed brocolli


To Prepare

Cook pasta, drain. Mix together the other ingredients and too through warm pasta. Sprinkile with chilli flakes.
