Easy Healthy Stuffed Tuna Shells

A great snack or appetiser to serve during parties and special occasions. Just be sure to buy water-packed tuna, not tuna packed in oil. Water-packed tuna has only 2 grams of fat per 110 gram serving, whereas tuna packed in oil has 26 grams!

Ingredients

20 uncooked jumbo pasta shells (about half of 12-ounce package)

1 cup frozen green peas

¼ cup plain nonfat yogurt

¼ cup light mayonnaise

2 cans (170 grams each) water-packed tuna, drained

2 tablespoons finely chopped onion

1 teaspoon lemon juice

½ teaspoon dried basil leaves

½ teaspoon dried oregano leaves

¼ teaspoon lemon pepper

Salt and pepper to taste

Dash of paprika

Steps

1. Cook pasta shells as directed on package.
2. Meanwhile, rinse frozen peas under running cold water to separate; drain and pat dry.
3. Mix yogurt and mayonnaise in medium bowl.
4. Stir in remaining ingredients except peas and paprika.
5. Gently fold in peas.
6. Drain pasta shells; pat dry.
7. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoonful of tuna mixture into each shell.
8. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until chilled.
9. Sprinkle with paprika before serving.
