Delicious Zucchini Tuna Egg Noodles that ready in just 15 minutes! This recipe is dairy-free.
Sometimes great recipes will happen when you don’t even try. When you just want to put something on the table, quickly. When you just look into your fridge and grab some of the last ingredients you find in there. Anyone else feels the same?
Such was the case for these Zucchini Tuna Egg Noodles that happened on a particularly busy early-fall Sunday. And oh, we have hit the jackpot!
This recipe has since become one of our favorite go-to pasta dishes.
These Zucchini Tuna Egg Noodles are just what the title of the recipe says, no secret ingredients. Just cook a batch of thick egg noodles (and here we do recommend using egg noodles, as they will add a depth of flavor to the simple dish), that you can buy in the store, or make them yourself if you fancy the extra work, or have way too many eggs on hands.
Then, fry up some onion and garlic, add grated zucchini, cooked noodles, some saved pasta water (and this really makes a difference, bringing your dish from a dry plate of noodles to a tasty and creamy pasta dish), and lastly some canned tuna that you probably already have in the cupboard.
So simple, so delicious, so quick to make!
