Post-winter dish: Tuna Pasta Salad with Broccoli and Spinach

Inspiration struck me again and I came up with another pasta dish! This time, it's more of a salad, making use of what was left in my cupboard and fridge at this time of the week:

1. Pasta (by now you must have noticed how I love this staple food - especially penne)
2. One small can of tuna
3. 3 tbsp of mayonnaise
4. carrots, diced 
5. broccoli, chopped into small pieces
6. spinach, chopped
7. onion, chopped
8. garlic, chopped
9. red bell pepper, diced
10. one small pack of raisins
11. olive oil
12. salt and pepper to taste
13. sweet basil (dried or fresh, optional)

How to create it:

1. Cook pasta according to package instructions.
2. Saute garlic, onion, and red bell pepper.
3. Add tuna, salt and pepper.
4. Set aside the sauteed tuna. Let it cool.
5. Once it's cool, add the mayonnaise.
6. Mix it well. Gradually add the cooked pasta.
7. Then the chopped broccoli, spinach, and sweet basil.
8. Add the raisins.

Can be eaten warm or chilled. I prefer the former, straight out from the mixing bowl - especially during this cold, post-winter evening.

This actually looks like post-winter! :)
