zesty tomato spaghetti with tuna and black olives from @greeneating
After seeing this pasta and tuna recipe on fellow RD Kate Geagans blog, I knew I had to give it a try. Some of my favorite ingredientstuna, olives, capers and tomatoesin a quick-cooking meal? Sold!
As Kate writes on her blog, the dish took less than 30 minutes from pantry to table. I used a spaghetti made with whole grains to up the fiber and some leftover fresh pizza sauce (instead of marinara sauce) from @TraderJoes. I also added chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce. It was incredibly quick to prepare and delightfully tasty!
In fact, it was so easy and delicious, that I immediately added this dish to my mental cookbook of easy weeknight meals. And to be honest, we’ve made this dish a few times over the past week. I used both canned and pouch tuna any kind of tuna will work well.
Its not always easy to find a nutritious recipe that my husband, toddler and preschooler ALL enjoy. This one was a hit with everyone!
