Ingredients
-
1 (16 ounce) package cavatappi pasta
-
2 cups mayonnaise
-
2 (11 ounce) cans albacore tuna, drained
-
1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives
-
4 stalks celery, chopped
-
½ medium white onion, chopped
-
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add cavatappi and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 10 minutes. Drain and run under cold water until no longer hot. Drain again and transfer to a big bowl.
-
Add mayonnaise, tuna, olives, celery, onion, salt, and pepper to the pasta; toss until fully combined. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Cook's Note:
If you do chill this before serving, you may need to add a little more mayonnaise because it absorbs it as it chills.
