1 can tunafish - drained (i usually wash it to get the salt out too)
1/2 cup chopped raw peppers & onions
1/2 cup whole wheat pasta
Salad dressing of your choice (I use Walden Farms because it has no calories, no fat, no carbs, and no sugar - they have ranch, caesar, italian, creamy bacon, thousand island and its very good)

Simply mix all of these ingredients together and enjoy. I usually make it the night before, because I like it to be very cold! Fell free to substitute any veggies you like for the peppers and onions. Enjoy!

I was expecting this one to be in the top 5. Sniff!

beautiful composition and DOF. i love the soft colors and the simple china is very complementary. good work!

The unusual angle on this makes it stand out a little more. The colors are very neutral, except for the green, and coupled with the white plate/bowl it has a nice minimalist feel. This is certainly something I could expect to see in a cookery book or magazine, or even adorning a restaurant menu. Very nicely prepared and presented.

Might have gone with a different angle to get more green in there, otherwise

could easily see this in a magazine. Very good selective focus and great presentation. No so sure about the very out of focus bowl in the background - something more like an elegant fork or slim stemed glassware would maybe be more appropriate ?

Wherer's the pasta? :) This looks very yummy, I love tuna! But the angle of the shot takes away from it. I keep thinking the tuna is going to slide out of the shot. The lighting and DOF are wonderful, an 8 to start.

Nice composition. Is there really pasta there? I see onions and bean sprouts but don't see the pasta. The tilt is a nice touch.

Interesting set up. I like the off-kilter perspective and the light tones. Lighting is great. I even like the small focus area - it really works for this photo. The food looks appetizing, the bits of parsley? give it extra texture. Nice! 7

This looks really discusting, but it's a nice photo. I like the dramatic angle. The only thing that bothers me a bit is the bowl in the background. The dark thing in the bowl creates a slight distraction from the subject. Your focus and DOF are really good. Unfortunately we get a lot of great detail in the food. lol. Not really my kind of food, but like I said. Good shot. ~Heather~

Interesting. Doesn't really look like pasta, but more like mung bean sprouts. This could use a splash of colour. Red, like a couple of slivers of radish, or tomato, or red pepper.

Wow, focal point nightmare, but you caught it OK. The lighting seems too blue to me, perhaps a white balance adjust would have helped. The simplistic effect of the presentation actually works. Normally an angular approach bothers me, but not this time. Gets my 9.

Excellent shot, nice angle , good choice of crockery and especially like the other crockery in the distance, an overall excellent shot but for what the title states as being pasta I am struggling to see any! Maybe too many bean sprouts in the way of the pasta - BUT that is the only one thing lacking on this shot... Brilliant

angle is good but the colours look a bit flat and washed out
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great use of DOF. The angle on the other hand is too drastic. I keep expecting it all to slide off the screen.

Not sure I like the slant. Where's the pasta BTW? Nice focus but DOF is a little shallow IMHO!

Very unusual angle for a food shot. interesting

Very muted colours, I can imagine this working in an advert with text over some of the image. Nice perspective and I like the out of focus bowl in the background. Adds interest without interfering.

Looks great, I'm hungry now :-) This surely would not be enough to fill me up though, I'd need about 10 helpings of it. And I can't seem to see the pasta anywhere, I see the tuna and I see the sprouts but no pasta. Doesn't matter, Ilike this one and you probably could sell it as a stock photograph - 9.
