Pasta with Tuna and Green Beans

September 17, 2010 By Crumbs and Chaos

Spread the love
Like I’ve mentioned before I love reading Everyday Food Magazine. I found this recipe for a pasta with tuna and green beans in the June 2010. It is a much healthier option than most pasta dishes and was very easy to prepare.

It has a wonderful flavor and because there isn’t a traditional pasta sauce it makes a lighter meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. They do recommend adding capers or olives to the dish to give it a more briny flavor. I didn’t do that this time because I didn’t have them on hand, but it sounds like it would be really good, so I will probably try it next time.

It was originally written as a meal for one. I adjusted it to feed our whole family but I am going to give you the recipe as written so that you can adjust according to your needs.

PASTA WITH TUNA AND GREEN BEANS

Ingredients

  • Coarse SALT and GROUND PEPPER
  • 3 ounces PASTA
  • 2 ounces GREEN BEANS, trimmed and halved
  • 1 can (3 ounces) chunk TUNA packed in water, drained
  • 1 tablespoon EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
  • 1 tablespoon natural ALMONDS, chopped and toasted (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh PARSLEY
  • 1 teaspoon LEMON JUICE
  • 1 small GARLIC clove, minced

  • Directions
    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions, adding green beans 1 minute before end of cooking. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine tuna, oil, almonds, parsley, lemon juice, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Drain pasta and beans and add to tuna mixture. Stir to combine.
