This is an easy recipe to whip up if you like tuna fish sandwiches, or tuna fish salad. But mainly I like this because I can get all these ingredients at Trader Joe’s and this whips up very quickly.

TJ Tuna Fish Salad
2 cans Tongol tuna, no oil, no salt, drained (or you can get the Albacore but this is supposedly the same and was a few cents cheaper…I can’t taste any difference)
3-6 Tbs TJ’s Organic Mayonnaise, depending on taste
3-6 Tbs TJ Hot Bell Pepper Relish
1 Tbs Annie’s Raspberry Mustard (or Dijon is fine)
1-2 tsp celery seed
1-2 tsp dill weed
salt & ground black pepper to taste
(optional) 2-3 c. cooked pasta (I used penne)

Giovanni Pasta is named after a secret submitter’s roommate’s late Uncle Giovanni (got all that?). We hear that this is an idiot-proof recipe and that it keeps very well, so that’s why this recipe makes so much!

Ingredients:

2 lbs pasta – farfalle (bowtie) or other choice
½ bunch fresh italian parsley
½ bunch fresh basil
½ package fresh chives
4 cloves garlic (about ¼ of a bulb)
½ cup olive oil
¼ stick butter
salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes

Directions:
