Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat penne pasta
2 green onions
14 1/2 oz. canned pink salmon in water
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup nonfat or low-fat plain yogurt
2 tsp. dried dill or dried parsley
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain in a colander. Run under water until cool to the touch, to keep noodles from sticking together.
Rinse and finely chop green onions.
Drain canned salmon. In a large bowl, mix salmon, pasta, green onions, peas, yogurt, dill or parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Transfer pasta mixture to a 9-inch square baking dish.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over pasta mixture. Bake 25–30 minutes, until bubbling and golden-brown on top.

Recipe Notes

Try using 1 can (12 oz.) low-sodium tuna in water instead of salmon.
Kick up the flavor by adding a pinch of ground cayenne pepper to the pasta mixture. Or sprinkle hot sauce on top when serving.
