My daughter and I just love this cold pasta from Souplantation. It is sweet, slightly sour and savory and just simply delicious. We usually go for a big spoonful of this pasta every time we visit Souplantation. I made this cold pasta for the kids one day for lunch and when they got back from school, they were just so happy to see this on the table, especially my daughter. This recipe from www.food.com came very close to the Tuna Tarragon pasta from Souplantation.
Ingredients
5 cups shell pasta
1 1/4 cups penne pasta
1 cup spinach fettucine (cut or broken into 3" pieces)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 (6 ounce) cans of tuna in water
2 cups sweet pickle juice
1 1/2 cups sweet pickles, diced
1 3/4 cups mayonnaise
1 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 tablespoon dried tarragon leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
Directions
1. In a large pot, bring 3 quarts of water and 1 tablespoon salt to a full boil.
2. Add pastas and cook for about 10 minutes until al dente. Immediately strain pasta and
cool by running cold water over pasta in strainer. Drain pasta completely and place in a
bowl. Coat pasta with canola oil to prevent sticking.
3. Next prepare the dressing. Place tuna in a large bowl and break down into small pieces.
4. Add the remaining dressing ingredients and thoroughly whisk to combine.
5. Combine the dressing and cooked pasta and mix thoroughly.
Note: ALLOW SALAD TO MARINATE FOR 8 HOURS! After 8 hours, top with more pickle
juice ad salt and pepper to taste. (I skipped this part and served the pasta immediately after preparing it).
