A great snack or appetiser to serve during parties and special occasions. Just be sure to buy water-packed tuna, not tuna packed in oil. Water-packed tuna has only 2 grams of fat per 110 gram serving, whereas tuna packed in oil has 26 grams!
Ingredients
20 uncooked jumbo pasta shells (about half of 12-ounce package)
1 cup frozen green peas
¼ cup plain nonfat yogurt
¼ cup light mayonnaise
2 cans (170 grams each) water-packed tuna, drained
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon dried basil leaves
½ teaspoon dried oregano leaves
¼ teaspoon lemon pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
Dash of paprika
Steps
- Cook pasta shells as directed on package.
- Meanwhile, rinse frozen peas under running cold water to separate; drain and pat dry.
- Mix yogurt and mayonnaise in medium bowl.
- Stir in remaining ingredients except peas and paprika.
- Gently fold in peas.
- Drain pasta shells; pat dry.
- Spoon 1 heaping tablespoonful of tuna mixture into each shell.
- Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until chilled.
- Sprinkle with paprika before serving.
