How to make it

  1. Cook the pasta: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
  4. Add the canned tuna to the skillet and break it apart slightly with a fork. Sauté for a minute or two to heat the tuna.
  5. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice, coating the tuna evenly.
  6. Pour in the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth and let the mixture simmer for a couple of minutes.
  7. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the plain Greek yogurt. Mix until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
  8. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Toss the cooked penne pasta with the creamy lemon and tuna sauce.
  10. Garnish the Penne al Limone with fresh parsley for added freshness.
