Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add 1 cup of macaroni to the boiling water.
- Cook according to the package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, or until al dente.
- Drain the macaroni and set aside.
- While the macaroni is cooking, open the can of sweet corn and drain it.
- Open the can of tuna and drain it.
- Open the can of canned tomatoes (do not drain).
- In a large skillet or saucepan, combine the drained sweet corn, drained tuna, and canned tomatoes (with their juices).
- Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Place the skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Add the cooked and drained macaroni to the skillet or saucepan.
- Gently stir to incorporate the macaroni with the tuna, corn, and tomato mixture.
- Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the macaroni is heated through and well mixed with the other ingredients.
- Taste the goulash and season with salt, pepper, or any other desired seasonings (such as garlic powder, paprika, or Italian herbs).
- Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Serve the tuna macaroni goulash hot.
Tips:
- Try adding a dash of your favorite herbs, like basil or oregano, to enhance the flavor.
- For extra creaminess, you can stir in some grated cheese just before serving.
- To add a bit of spice, consider incorporating a pinch of chili flakes or a splash of hot sauce.
- Make sure to drain the canned tuna well before adding it to the dish to avoid extra liquid.
- Cook the macaroni until it's just al dente; it will continue to cook slightly when mixed with the other ingredients.
