We are snowed in and all we have is some pasta, tuna, onion, and frozen peas. What can I make with these ingredients?

You can make tuna casserole if you have any cream soups just cook the pasta and add all the ingredients listed and one can of any kind of cream soup with one can water or milk and bake in 350* oven for 30 minutes or until hot. Or you can make buttered pasta with tuna patties and creamed peas. Cut up the onions and saute them. Add to the tuna and one egg small amount of cracker or bread crumbs and make into patties and fry in a frying pan. Heat the peas in some broth or milk about 1 cup add a flour paste to make a gravy and if you have the milk add just enough to flavor if using broth. Salt and pepper all to taste.
You could try the website www.recipepuppy.com and type in the ingredients you have and it will suggest various recipes for you to try. I've found this very helpful for me in the past. Hope this helps you.
Cook pasta as per package instructions and drain. Slice and fry the onion (and any garlic if you have it) till nice and brown in oil - butter will do if you don't have any oil but use a low heat since butter may burn on high heat. Add the frozen peas, mix in the drained tuna and combine everything with the pasta.
Lovely meal which we happen to make often at home but I sometimes add a can of tomatoes as well after the onions are cooked and leave it to simmer for about 10 minutes. It's even better but I don't know if you have any. it's still very good without them.
