Ingredients
- 250 grams whole wheat pasta
- 185 grams canned tuna in water
- 150 grams low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 large, minced garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 100 grams frozen peas
- 100 grams baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the frozen peas and baby spinach to the skillet and cook until the peas are heated through and the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Step 5
Drain the canned tuna and flake it with a fork in a small bowl.
Step 6
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the peas and spinach. Stir gently to combine.
Step 7
Pour the Greek yogurt sauce over the pasta mixture and add the flaked tuna. Toss everything gently to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Step 8
Cook on low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the dish is heated through.
Step 9
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
