Chilli Tuna Pasta



When I have no idea what to eat or if I am not in the mood to cook, I make chilli tuna pasta. It started off on a whim when I decided to empty a can of chilli tuna onto some pasta and raw veges. A squeeze of lime and it was transformed into a very nice and simple dish.

All you need is any kind of pasta, a can of chilli tuna, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, onions, herbs and lime juice. To add some kick to it, I recommend a dash of fish sauce. Toss it all up and enjoy!

Chilli Tuna Pasta
Any pasta of your choice, cooked as per packet instructions.
Cucumber
Carrots
Tomatoes
Onions
Daun kesum (Laksa leaves)
Daun selasih (local basil)
Mint
Lime juice
Fish Sauce
1 can chili tuna

Mix all ingredients together and serve.

I used this brand.
A simple and healthy dish.
Add sambal belacan for the X-factor.
