Tuna & Avocado Stuffed Shells

Tuna & Avocado Stuffed Shells
Serves 4

This is a nifty item for a special lunch or even brunch. And it goes together in way less than half an hour if you "keep to task" as my grandmother used to say (or somebody's grandmother).


8 jumbo shell macaroni
8 oz tuna fillet, cooked and broken into small chunks
1 medium avocado, seeded, peeled, and chopped
3 Tbsp walnut oil or cooking oil
3 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp snipped fresh chives
1 Tbsp Dijon-style mustard
1 medium cantaloupe, cut into wedges


Cook pasta shells according to package directions.

While that's happening grill tuna over medium heat for about 8 minutes or until it gets flakey.

In a large mixing bowl stir together flaked tuna, avocado, oil, lemon juice, chives, and mustard.

By this time the pasta is done so drain and rinse it with cold water and spoon about 1/4 cup of the tuna salad mixture into each shell. Arrange 2 filled shells per serving with maybe a piece of cantaloupe or watermelon on each plate.

Now that's a classy dish.
