Although some people may think all pasta dishes are loaded with carbs and cheese, this recipe proves them wrong.

Most grocery stores carry whole wheat pasta these days; you can find it in the regular pasta aisle.

It's tossed with whole wheat pasta to create a dish that is healthful and filling.

Although you may not think of canned tuna as a ingredient to use in pasta, I highly recommend you give it a try. Flavorful chunks of meaty packed-in-olive-oil tuna work best for this healthy, midweek meal. The greens and whole wheat pasta are lightly coated with a fragrant sauce before being topped with tuna.

Ever since I made pasta with lamb and tomato ragu, I haven't been able to stop singing the praises of ground lamb. If you love ordering lamb at restaurants but have never made it at home, ground lamb is the perfect starting point, since it requires no special handling.

Before I lived in Spain, I never thought of putting canned tuna in pasta. However, the Spanish think everything tastes better with olive-oil packed tuna (including guacamole!), so I learned to love this savory pasta combination.
I suggest you give it a try with this simple recipe.
