Rotini With Tuna Broccoli And Tomatoes Recipes

ROTINI WITH BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the broccoli, and cook, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Remove the broccoli with a slotted spoon; set aside. Stir the rotini into the same pot, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the garlic and crushed red pepper for 1 minute. Stir in the broccoli, chicken broth, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the broccoli is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the drained pasta; cook over low heat for 1 minute. Stir in the Parmesan cheese.

TUNA ROTINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Boil the pasta following the instructions on the package.
• Drain the pasta, then return it to the pot and mix in the Cream of Mushroom soup, tuna, half of the parmesan cheese, and about 2/3 of the cheddar cheese.
• Pour the mixture into a 9x13 glass dish, then sprinkle the remaining cheeses and bread crumbs over the top.
• Cook at 350°F for 15 minutes, then (optionally) turn on the broiler for a couple minutes to brown the top, watching it closely to make sure it doesn't burn.
