Simple tricolor veggie pasta and tuna
Tricolor pasta
With Italian roots, you bet I love pasta!
When I was walking through the food aisle in the local dollar store one day, I noticed a shelf full of tricolor pasta. Not being one to eat much spiral-shaped pasta, I walked on by. Then I remembered how much my children love pasta and tuna.
Being so inexpensive, I figured I wouldn't be out much money if it didn't work out well.
Here's my recipe for tricolor pasta with tuna. This is a great as a side dish or for lunch.
Serve cold.
Substitute chicken for an even heartier meal!
Boil pasta for about 10 minutes, until fork tender.
