Ingredients

1/2 lb. penne pasta

6 Tbs. EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil)

1/2 cup bread crumbs

salt and pepper

5 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled, reserve 1 for toast

1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved

1 bag frozen cut green beans (10oz.), thawed

1 can cannellini beans (15oz.), drained and rinsed

1 package tuna (7oz.), drained

grated peel of 1 lemon plus 1 lemon cut into wedges

8 pieces whole-wheat bread

melted butter

Directions

In a large sauce-pan of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup pasta cooking water.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 2 Tbs. EVOO over medium-high heat. Add the bread crumbs and toast, stirring, for 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; season with salt and pepper.

In the same skillet, add the garlic and the remaining 1/4 cup EVOO and cook over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.

Add the pasta, tuna and lemon peel to the skillet and toss. Season with salt and pepper and top with the toasted crumbs.
