One-pot tuna & broccoli pasta

Makes 6 servings

Preparation Time: 10 min
Cooking Time: 17 min

This is truly a one-pot dish – you don’t even need to drain the pasta. The pasta cooks in the milk and creates the sauce. With all four foods groups in one simple dish, you’re set for dinner.

Ingredients

2 3/4 cups 1% milk, divided 675 mL
1 3/4 cup water 425 mL
10 oz whole wheat rotini or fusilli pasta 300 g
6 cups chopped broccoli florets (1 large bunch) 1.5 L
8 oz ricotta cheese 250 g
1 tsp grated lemon zest 5 mL
3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice 45 mL
1/4 tsp pepper 1 mL
2 cans water-packed flaked tuna, drained 340 g

Instructions

Step 1
In a large pot, heat 2 1/2 cups (625 mL) of the milk and water over medium heat until steaming. Stir in pasta. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring once. Add broccoli on top of pasta, cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until pasta is tender and broccoli is tender-crisp.

Step 2
Stir ricotta, lemon zest, lemon juice and pepper into pot until blended. Stir in enough of the remaining milk to moisten pasta to desired consistency. Gently stir in tuna, just until heated through.
