Peas n Pasta

”Please No Peas Mom”… something I used to say when I was younger.   I still didn’t care for peas till tonight!!

I had a huge craving for cold pasta.

The first ”quick cold pasta dish” that came up with Google Search.  I ran to the store for frozen peas.  They were good in this dish too…still surprised!

Tuna Pasta Salad

  • 2 cups pasta
  • 2 cups peas
  • 2 cans tuna
  • 1 grated carrot
  • 1/2 cup light mayo
  • 1/2 cup Greek plain yogurt

(only thing missing was raisins)

I ate some leftover breaded tofu that was in the freezer.  I looked it up and learned that you can freeze tofu!!

I added another carrot to my meal.

    I love peas! My favorite quick meal is whole wheat pasta with peas. Not the healthiest meal, but I’ll try to eat a veggie on the side too :)

    That tuna pasta dish is one of my favorites. Smart ones frozen meals makes one, but I don’t like it if there is celery in it.

    My fave healthy fill me up meal is a power house sandwich with sweet potato fries. This is a whole grain bread, cucumber, lettuce, sprouts, tomato, meunster cheese and hummus (usually). But you can put whatever veggies in that you like. It is so big I can barely take a bite.

    Yum to the pasta dish. Looks great. My quick meals usually include rice or pasta with sauteed veggies on top. Or tacos, I love homemade tacos.

    Mmmm I l-o-v-e tuna pasta! When I need something quick I throw together a quick tuna casserole (1 can mushroom soup, 1 can tuna, some cooked noodles, frozen peas, little bit of water to thin out mushroom soup if needed, shredded cheese, and cracker crumbs on top – 30 – 45 min. in oven). Delish and easy!

    My favorite healthy quick meal is black bean soup with lots of vegetables.

    And I have always loved peas! I can eat them straight from a can.

    Oh, and peas. That’s why I said it was similar to your pasta in the first place :)

  13. jessica’s avatar

    Yum to your pasta! I love to make a similar dish, but warm and minus the tuna and mayo. I saute whatever root veggies I have (onion, carrot) along with tomatoes, bell peppers, artichokes, eggplant…then toss with whole wheat penne and basil pesto. Totally filling and hearty.

    I did not like the Hills without Lauren.

    I like to do a pepper blend (previously frozen) mixed with refried beans and salsa as a quick meal.
