I’m a real meat and potatoes girl.  Actually, that’s not true. I like simple foods that are healthy and easy to cook. So, not meat or potatoes (they’ve got a high glycemic index, and don’t even get me STARTED on red meat).

But back to simple healthy dishes! I was at my friend’s house, and he basically made me the most delicious, quick meal out of tuna and pasta and cheese I might have ever tasted in my 30 years on this Earth. It was lovely!

I’m always looking for some great ways to incorporate fish into my posts. So this lovely fish dish is one of the recipes I’d love to make. I’m going to reconstruct the recipe from memory, so hopefully it’s alright! (change the proportions as you see fit) I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Love,
Naimah
