Jay’s Tuna Pasta
The only credit that I can take for this recipe is the basil on top and the steamy photo. (I forgot to wipe off my camera lens, which has caused the steamy/smoky effect in the picture!)
I came home from work last week to find dinner piping hot on the table. I plopped right in the chair, gave thanks, and DUG IN! I am one lucky girl!! Thank you, Sweetheart!!
What makes me even more lucky is how considerate this meal is because it’s from one of my Weight Watchers magazines. My amazing talented, smart, and gorgeous sister is getting married next year, and we have to be fitted for our bridesmaids dresses in August. Yep, I have a deadline. The flabbie must go! Needless to say, I have some weight to lose to get back into my running 5-6-7 miles a day, every day college bod (was I nuts???), so starting NOW I have to be careful about what I eat. I have 3 months. I can do it. I hope… ;o)
This meal took as long to prepare as it does to boil your pasta. Not to bad, huh? Plus, it involves basic ingredients that most of us have in our cabinets.
Thank you, Jay for this wonderful meal! <3
