Do you need a survival dinner for this frantic pre-holiday period?
Instead of settling for take-out food, you can whip up this quick, healthy Tuna Penne Pasta. Penne pasta is perfect for this hearty tomato and tuna sauce, but any type of short-cut pasta such as shells or elbow macaroni can be used. Most of the ingredients are staples you already have on hand.
The Italian White Bean Salad is a quick side dish. It uses cannellini, the large, white Italian kidney beans sold in most supermarkets. To simplify dinner even more, use a washed, ready-to-eat salad instead of the romaine lettuce and a bottled, low-fat dressing.
