Tuna pasta/tuna salad
Another "what's in fridge and pantry cleanout" situation.
A bag of mini shell pasta; cans of tuna hoarded from pandemic shopping; several partial jars of pickled items (sweet pickles, dill pickles, banana peppers, olives etc); frozen cubes of braised celery........
I boiled the pasta shells in the brine from the emptying jars of the pickled stuff. That took care of any seasoning needed, it really works well for pasta!
I threw the hot noodles in a bowl with the frozen celery, thinking I'd let it cool to then add the other items. In through the door walks a hungry person. I added all the items (except mayo) to the hot noodles and mixed it up. A nice warm tuna pasta dish. No complaints!
Later, it will be cold tuna pasta salad when I add the mayo.
