Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups dried pasta
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas
- 12 ounces drained albacore tuna
- 2 tablespoons sweet relish
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
Instructions
- Place eggs in a pot of water, bring to a boil and immediately turn heat off. Leave pot covered and allow eggs to sit in hot water for 10 minutes before rinsing with cold water. Refrigerate until cold, then peel and dice.
- While the eggs are cooking bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook pasta 6-8 minutes or until desired firmness is reached. Drain well and toss into a large bowl.
- Combine peas, drained tuna, relish, diced eggs, and mayonnaise with the pasta. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Tips
- I'm a fan of using bowtie pasta, but feel free to use any fun shapes!

- I used whole wheat egg noodles instead of bow tie and added red onion. I also added salt and pepper.

- I weighed 1.5 c egg noodle (3 oz) and then weighed 1.5 c penne (5 oz). What is the correct weight of the pasta for this recipe?
