Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup whole wheat bread crumbs
1 tablespoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 (15 ounce) can canned beans
1 (5 ounce) can tuna, drained
2 cups tomato sauce
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Stir in the pasta and boil until cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Toast bread crumbs in oil, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; stir in lemon zest. Remove seasoned bread crumbs from skillet and drain on paper towels.
  • Place the skillet back over medium heat. Add the beans, and mash. Stir in the tuna, tomato sauce, and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Toss sauce with prepared pasta; place in prepared baking dish. Top with the toasted bread crumbs and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Bake in preheated oven until the cheese melts, about 10 minutes.
