Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 (15 ounce) can canned beans
1 (5 ounce) can tuna, drained
2 cups tomato sauce
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Stir in the pasta and boil until cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Toast bread crumbs in oil, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; stir in lemon zest. Remove seasoned bread crumbs from skillet and drain on paper towels.

Step 4

Place the skillet back over medium heat. Add the beans, and mash. Stir in the tuna, tomato sauce, and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 5

Toss sauce with prepared pasta; place in prepared baking dish. Top with the toasted bread crumbs and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Bake in preheated oven until the cheese melts, about 10 minutes.
