    I am so glad you started this thread

    When I am not eating tuna with mashed potato, peas and corn I eat it plain with vinegar, just drain, add vinegar and eat!

    I have 9 tins in the cupboard at the moment so it is great to get some more inspiration for quick and easy meals as DH doesn't eat it only me.

    tuna pesto pasta - cook pasta and drain. Mix up a tin of tuna and some pesto in the saucepan over a very low heat. Add the pasta. Serve with or without cheese.

    tuna jacket potato. Shove potato in the microwave for about 5 mins. Cut it open. Mix tuna together with cream cheese and sweetcorn. Add to the potato as a filling.

    For sandwiches for us I drain it & then add vinegar & chopped up raw brown onion.
    (Its the ONLY time I eat onion not burnt, & brown is the only type of onion I will eat.)
    Then we'll have cheese, or spread avo on it too.........Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I'm hungry now!

    i have it on a sandwich/toastie with mayo, lettuce, cheese and onion(minus lettuce for toastie)

    also just with a mixed salad instead of chicken/ham.

    DD takes it to school and has it with jatz

    I love tuna pesto pasta, too! I add a chopped onion, some crushed garlic, baby capers, white wine, lemon juice, and paprika to mine though. I also add a big handful of baby spinach leaves right at the end when I've taken it off the heat. And gluten-free pasta for me and DP

    Tuna Chili Dip with Phili cheese and onion (DELISH on fresh broken loaf).

    Tuna pasta (really easy and soo yummy) in a frypan cook some anchovies in hot oil (don't worry you won't taste them in the dish) add roughly chopped garlic when the anchovies have melted. Add a tin of tomatoes, then a tin of tuna some capers and some white wine. Stir through some fresh pasta and YUMMO!

    Tuna Rice Bake (I made this last night), make a white sauce add some garlic onion, and a sprinkling of french onion soup mix (to taste), add some tasty cheese, dried dill and parsley. Then Add some tinned corn, cooked rice and tuna. Stir to combine, put into a baking dish top with mozza, tasty and parmesan and bake till golden serve with a salad. I REALLY cheated last night by using ready to eat rice. You can also add other veg like baby spinach, asparagus whatever you have in the cupboard really. We have this as a throw together quick meal. Not entirely from scratch but healthier than 2 minute noodles or maccas
