I’ve got a delicious pasta recipe for you today that’s so quick and simple that anyone can cook it! I’ve added some not-so-low-fat variations at the end which are great for a special occasion, but the standard recipe is really tasty just as it is.. Fresh Tagliatelle with Tuna & Pesto - serves four 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 large onion 2 cloves garlic, crushed 200g (7oz) tin of tuna in brine, drained & flaked 500g/1lb fresh tagliatelle 125g (4oz) plain low-fat yogurt 1-2 tablespoons green pesto salt & black pepper fresh basil & pitted black olives to garnish Heat oil in saucepan, add garlic and onions and fry for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook pasta according to packet instructions. Drain pasta and add to garlic and onions. Stir in yogurt, pesto and tuna, add salt and pepper to taste. Warm gently in pan - do not boil as yogurt will curdle. Garnish with basil and olive and serve with a fresh green salad. Variations: add some fresh sliced mushrooms and peppers with the onion and garlic and/or use red pesto instead of green. For a special occasion, use creme fraiche instead of yogurt and sprinkle with grated parmesan. Filed under: Pasta and Fish & seafood Comments:
