Broccoli & Tuna Pasta: easy and light high protein meal

Ingredients

For 4 portions:

  • 240 g pasta, I used De Cecco orecchiette
  • 4 cans tuna in water (drained)
  • 800 g broccoli, steamed
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt (for boiling the pasta)
  • Optional final touch: low fat pesto and/or protein grated Cheese 

Tools Needed

  • 1 pot (for pasta)
  • Cutting board
  • 1 bowl, to combine all the ingredients
  • 2 Meal Prep Boxes, I use these

Procedure

  • Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Add salt to the boiling water as desired.
  • Steam the broccoli. My favorite method is using the microwave — it only takes about 6 minutes.
  • Finely chop the steamed broccoli and place it in a large bowl.
  • Drain the tuna and add it to the bowl with the broccoli.
  • Drain the pasta once it’s cooked, then add it to the bowl.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and mix everything together until well combined.
  • Divide the mixture evenly into your meal prep containers.
