Don't know what to call this dish; guess you can call it "leftovers" or something. Spotted an offensive looking can of mayonaise in the fridge and some dried pasta in the cupboard. Needed to get rid of them.

Need:
Mayonaise
Pasta
Tuna
Cheese

Mayo Pasta 01

Combine the tuna and mayo in a baking dish. Flake the tuna and mix it well with the mayo to get something like a chunkier form of tuna mayo. Don't have to flake the tuna till its completely minced; but I guess you could.

Boil the pasta. Once it was cooked; I added it batch by batch into the baking dish with the tuna. I mixed it up well before putting in the next layer of pasta. Reason I did this was due to the size of the dish and the amount of pasta; wanted the tuna to be well distributed in the pasta.

Then I topped the whole dish off with cheese. Something like making a lagsane. (As a side note; one day I have to try Bishop Solomon's lagsane! The video is too good!) I used two types of cheese, mozerella and cheddar. The more yellowish one is the cheddar.

I then baked it till the cheese melted and looked good! (That took about 30 minutes)

Mayo Pasta 05

It will be quite sometime before I eat anything like this again. Got a new pasta machine from my aunt... so no more dried pasta for me. Making everything fresh from now on. That way I know what goes into my food! You tend to eat less as well; knowing the kind of cleaning up you have to do!
