Amount Per Serving: 238 Calories, 19 g. Protein, 31 g. Carbohydrates, 3 g. added Sugars, 5 g. Dietary Fiber, 5 g. Fat (1 g. sat), 0.96 g. Salt

Ingredients:

• 2 packs (7 ounces each) of ready-cooked pasta (we used Dolmio Express), or 14 ounces of leftover cooked penne
• 1 can (3.5 ounces) of tuna in oil
• 1 can (14 ounces) of cannellini beans , (borlotti or butterbeans are also good)
• 1⁄2 red onion , finely chopped
• Zest and juice from 1 lemon
• Large handful parsley

Preparation:

• Microwave the cooked penne according to pack instructions.
• Tip penne into a bowl. Mix through the remaining ingredients (the warm pasta will really soak up the flavors). If using chilled leftover pasta, simply mix everything together – it will still taste great. Can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.
