Receta Mediterranean Tuna Noodle Skillet
I made this for dinner the other night. It's a tasty twist on a tuna noodle casserole.
Mediterranean Tuna Noodle Skillet
- from Mueller's Pasta
- Ingredients
- 1 T oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 8 ounces noodles, uncooked
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1-1/4 cups water
- 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can tuna (5 oz.) in water, drained
- 1 jar (7.5 oz) marinated artichoke hearts, drained, liquid reserved, chopped
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
Directions:
Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook until onion starts to soften, stirring occasionally.
Stir in dry noodles, tomatoes, water, and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add tuna, artichokes and reserved liquid to noodles; toss together and heat until hot. Top with cheese and sprinkle with additional Italian seasoning.
I do not usually buy artichokes, but I bought a large jar a while back with the intent to try making some Spinach Artichoke Dip. We always love it at Applebee's, and I figured it was worth trying at home. So far I haven't tried the dip, but I decided to open the jar for this tuna skillet. So... I'm not sure exactly on the measurements. I measured out about a cup of artichokes, cut them up, and then added liquid to make 8 ounces. That being said, artichokes may have to become a staple in my pantry because I really liked the flavor they added to this dish.
The leftovers heated up really well, too. This is definitely something to make again.
