Whole Wheat Penne Pasta with Tuna
Serves 4
Time 25 min
Lemon juice adds the perfect citrus note to this simple dish. While we call for cooking the onions, tomato and parsley, you can easily skip the cooking by substituting 1/2 cup finely chopped raw red onion, then simply stir in the uncooked tomatoes, parsley and olive oil.
