Ingredients for Angel Hair Tuna

  • Pasta Roni
  • 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Butter Flavored Cracker
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

How to Make Angel Hair Tuna

  1. Cook 8 ounces of angel hair pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, drain and flake 2 (5 ounce) cans of tuna.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, tuna, 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
  4. Add reserved pasta water, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup of buttered bread crumbs (made from 1/4 cup breadcrumbs and 2 tablespoons melted butter).
  6. Serve immediately and garnish with extra Italian seasoning if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
