Equipment

  • Oven
  • Stovetop
  • 9-inch Square Baking Dish
  • Colander
  • Large Bowl
  • Large Pot

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Pasta Whole wheat, penne
  • 2 Green Onions Medium
  • 15 oz Canned Salmon
  • 1 cup Peas Frozen
  • 1 cup Yogurt Low-fat
  • 2 teaspoons Dill Dried, or dried parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese Grated

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Boil the pasta according to package directions. Drain in a colander. Run under water until cool to the touch, to keep noodles from sticking together.
  • Rinse and finely chop green onions.
  • Drain canned salmon. In a large bowl, mix salmon, pasta, green onions, peas, yogurt, dill or parsley, salt, and black pepper.
  • Transfer pasta mixture to a 9-inch square baking dish.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over pasta mixture. Bake 25-30 minutes, until bubbling and golden.

Notes

  • Try using 1 (12-ounce) can low-sodium tuna in water instead of the salmon.
  • Kick up the flavor by adding a pinch of ground cayenne pepper to the pasta mixture. Or, top with hot sauce when served.
