This tuna pasta recipe is so easy. Made with spring onions, sweetcorn and mayonnaise, it serves four and is ready in just 30 minutes.

We’ve got an easy baked tuna pasta recipe, too.
Before you start
The dark green tops of the spring onions can be added to the dish too for a stronger onion-y, almost garlicky flavour.
If you like your pasta al dente, a good rule of thumb is to cook it for 1-2 minutes less than it states on the packet.
Amp up the flavour by adding a good twist of freshly ground black pepper and/or a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Finely chopped chives will also enhance the garlicky flavour of the onions.
Ingredients
- Bunch of spring onions
- 400g pasta shapes
- 2 x 185g cans tuna in sunflower oil, drained
- 400g canned sweetcorn, drained
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
Method
- Trim away the root ends and the dark green leaves from the spring onions, then finely slice and set aside.
- Fill a large saucepan to three-quarters full with water and bring to the boil. Add the pasta and cook according to packet instructions until al dente (tender to the bite), then carefully drain using a colander.
- Put the pasta back into the saucepan and add the spring onions, tuna, sweetcorn, and mayonnaise, and mix everything together. Easy!

I love this recipe because as a busy mum of two babies whose partner works away its exactly the type of recipe I need… minimum effort for maximum results. Perfect comfort at the end of a (trust me) hectic day.
