directions

  • 1

    Make shells and set aside

  • 2

    Heat the olive oil in a heavy 12-inch skillet over moderate heat for 1 minute

  • 3

    Add onion, garlic, carrot, celery, red pepper, basil, marjoram, rosemary, and black pepper

  • 4

    Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 to 8 minutes

  • 5

    Add the wine to the skillet and boil, uncovered, for 3 minutes

  • 6

    Place the flour in a small bowl and add enough of the chicken broth, a tablespoon at a time, to make a smooth paste

  • 7

    Blend in the rest of the chicken broth and add the mixture to the skillet

  • 8

    Cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes

  • 9

    Lower the heat so that the mixture bubbles gently, cover, and simmer for 8 minutes or until the sauce has thickened

  • 10

    Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350?F

  • 11

    Cook the shells, drain well and place in an ungreased 3-1/2- quart casserole

  • 12

    Add the tuna but do not mix

  • 13

    Stir the cheese, lemon juice, and half the parsley into the sauce

  • 14

    Pour over the tuna and pasta shells and toss well to mix

  • 15

    Cover and bake for 20 minutes

  • 16

    Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve

  • 17

    Tip: Water-packed tuna not only tastes better than tuna packed in oil, but also has less than a gram of fat per can

  • 18

    Oil-packed tuna has as many as 20 grams of fat per can and almost twice the calories.
