High in fiber and protein, our simple Whole Wheat Penne with Tuna Salad combines cannellini beans, capers, tuna, penne and arugula with extra virgin olive oil.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, season with salt and cook pasta just under package instructions or until very al dente. Stir pasta frequently throughout cooking, then strain and rinse under cold running water. Spread pasta on a baking sheet to cool and drizzle with olive oil. While pasta cools, prepare dressing by placing half the beans in a medium mixing bowl and mash with a fork. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper, then whisk in olive oil. Transfer pasta to a large mixing bowl, combine with remaining beans, tuna, capers, red onion and arugula to the bowl. Mix thoroughly and let chill for at least one hour before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serves 4-6.
