Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Tuna Bow Tie Pasta Salad.
Step 1
Start by bringing a generous pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Toss in the bow tie pasta and let it cook, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a delightful al dente texture, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Just when the pasta is nearly there, add in the frozen peas and let them mingle for an additional 2 minutes.
Step 4
Once cooked, drain the pasta and peas, then give them a quick rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and keep them vibrant.
Step 5
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the chilled pasta and peas with the drained tuna, diced celery, chopped green onions, fresh dill, and grated carrot.
Step 6
Stir gently until all the ingredients are harmoniously blended.
Step 7
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the creamy mayonnaise, zesty Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create a luscious dressing.
Step 8
Drizzle this over your pasta mixture and fold everything together gently, ensuring each bite is perfectly coated.
Step 9
Enjoy this refreshing dish thatโs not just a meal, but a celebration of flavors!.
