As a Tavern Direct Super Insider, I get to try a new product each month. This month, I was challenged to use the Tavern on the Green Garlic with Rosemary Oil. Since I adore pasta in all forms, I decided to give this recipe a try.

Pasta Shells with Tuna, Peas and Lemon
4 tablespoons Tavern on the Green Garlic with Rosemary Oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups frozen baby peas
1/4 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon salt
1 pound dried pasta shells (choose a gluten free variety)
2 cans (6 ounces each) water-packed tuna, drained
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1. Set a covered large pot of water over high heat.
2. Warm 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat in a medium pan. Add the onion and peas. Stir. Cover and cook about 3 minutes, or until the peas are thawed. Remove from the heat and set aside.
3. When the water boils, add 1 tablespoon salt and the pasta. Stir. Cover and return to the boil. Uncover and boil, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes, or until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Drain the pasta and return to the pot. Add the tuna, onion, and peas, pepper, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons oil. Toss. Add just enough reserved water to moisten.
I love the subtle taste of the Garlic with Rosemary Oil from Tavern Direct. This is definitely much more flavorful than plain olive oil.

I was certain that neither child would like this since it has both peas and warm tuna fish – both of which are generally disliked in my house. To my surprise they both had seconds!

So sorry. You add them with the onions. Thanks for reading!
