Cold Pasta Dinner #1

For those that don't know, Phoenix gets really hot in the summer. And cooking dinner can be a challenge for a few reasons. First because using too much of the oven or stove really heats up our little apartment. Second, because most of the time is so hot that we don't really want to eat anything that's too heavy or hot.

So one of my solutions to that problem is to make a few different cold pastas for dinner. Here is the first one which I got from my lovely step-mother.

Tuna Noodle Pasta

Ingredients
3 cans tuna
1 box noodles ( I like whole wheat)
1 or 1 and 1/2 cup frozen peas
Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip (I use the Miracle Whip)


First boil your noodles. Right before they are done cooking put your frozen peas into the pot.
Then drain your noodles and mix in the tuna and Miracle Whip to taste.
Done!


We like to eat it with a little Chalula on top!


This is a great recipe that makes a bunch of pasta that you can save for snacks or meals later in the week! Enjoy!
