What You Need
Instructions
In a large pot, heat 2-1/2 cups (625 mL) of the milk, water and salt over medium heat until steaming. Stir in pasta. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 min, stirring once. Add broccoli on top of pasta, cover and simmer for 5 min or until pasta is tender and broccoli is tender-crisp.
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.
Tips
If your family isn’t used to the look and texture of whole wheat pasta, start out by mixing in some whole wheat pasta with the regular pasta, then gradually add more whole wheat until you’re not using any regular at all.
