tuna fish

OK. So last night, Steven wanted something "light" but he insisted that it have tunafish in it as well! lol (he had a PT test the next morning and wanted "good for you" food) Being that the only thing i've EVER made with tunafish was casserole and tuna sandwiches (HAHA) i hadn't the slightest clue what to make for him. SO..... i did what i always do, i went to good ol' dependable GOOGLE and typed in "light tunafish recipes" and came across the "Bumblebee Tuna" website.. They have literally HUNDREDS of different recipes you can go through.. some of the stuff i never even thought of using tuna fish in! SO, i came across this one recipe that called for Penne pasta, basil, EVOO, lemon juice and zest, and ofcourse, tuna. I didn't have Basil or lemon but i had fresh spinache leaves.. so i figured, why not substitute? and i kind of let my imagination take over from there. I took the basic sauce ingredient which was nothing more then extra virgin olive oil, added some garlic and spinache salt pepper, italian seasoning at saute'd. after all of that was done saute'ing i opened a 12oz can of tuna, drained it.. and just dumped it in there! lol
then i started thinking that i wanted more greens in there, something you could really bite into... so i added some broccoli. When the penne was done cooking i tossed it all together and told steven, "This is possibly the healthiest thing i've ever made.. i hope you like it! lol" Needless to say, He LOVED it, and ended up going back for seconds! YAY!!! i succeeded! AND I also thought it was quite delicious.
You guys should try it!
