Dr Andrew Weils Pasta Puttanesca with Tuna - 18.6g Carbs, 4.9g Fiber, 7.1g Sugar
{Recipe did not state the pasta used. Dr Weil would most certainly use
whole grain pasta. For the nutrition purposes I used: Ezekiel 4:9 Organic Sprouted 100% Whole Grain Pasta Penne}

Holistic health pioneer Dr. Andrew Weil designed this dinner to be a mini-Mediterranean diet in a bowl. In addition to being heart healthy,
the ingredients in this dish are full of cancer-fighting antioxidants.
2 (28 oz cans) Italian tomatoes, drained and crushed
4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp dried hot red pepper flakes
2 Tbsp capers
1/2 cup black olives, pitted and chopped
3 garlic cloves, mashed
2 Tbsp fresh basil leaves, minced
1 lb dried pasta (Ezekiel 4:9 Organic Sprouted 100% Whole Grain Pasta Penne)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 pkg/can or healthy pouch/canned tuna (low-mercury type)
In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, olive oil, red pepper flakes,
capers, olives, garlic and basil. Let stand at room temperature for
1 hour. Add the tuna to the mix. Cook the pasta in rapidly boiling
water until al dente. Drain well. Toss the hot pasta with the tomato
mixture. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
