====Best recipe review====

''Any pasta is fine''

4.1/5 

While a purist would say this has to be made with coditos, any pasta is fine in this salad.

{{RecipeIngredients
| 300 g [[coditos]] (pasta) - see Variations below
| 130g tin of [[Tuna|tuna]] in [[Oil|oil]], [[Mashed|mashed]]

}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod

}}
===Variations===
[[Coditos]] are not available in the UK, as far I can ascertain, although it may be found as elbow macaroni. They are similar in shape to the [[Italian]] [[:Image:Pasta 2006 3.jpg|pipe pasta]] and this type can be used instead.
[[Elicoidali]] is another fairly close equivalent that can be purchased directly from Waitrose.

I already had some [[homemade garlic mayonnaise]], but had no idea how much would be made from 500 ml of olive oil, however, 3 good tablespoons of mayonnaise seemed just fine. I also garnished the salad with a little [[smoked paprika]] to add a bit of extra interest.
Many people like to use [[Cream|Cream]] in this salad because it reduces acidity in the dish due to the [[Mayonnaise|mayonnaise]].
