  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 cans (5 oz each) tuna in water, drained
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

  5. In a large bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, milk, Dijon mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  6. Combine cooked pasta, tuna, sautéed vegetables, and yogurt sauce. Mix until well coated.
  7. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and breadcrumbs if using.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and bubbly on top.

  • Substitute Greek yogurt with low-fat cream cheese for a tangier flavor.
  • Add chopped mushrooms or bell peppers for more veggie variety.
