MIracle Noodle Recipe:

This ultra-quick dish is a delicious variation on the classic late-night
Roman staple, spaghettata  (Spaghetti with Garlic and Oil) that can be
thrown together from ingredients you may normally keep in your pantry and
fridge.

Preparation time: five minutes

Cooking time:  five minutes

1 bag Miracle Noodles angel hair,

1  6- or 7-ounce can or jar of tuna  in olive oil  (preferably Italian
tuna in extra virgin oil, but supermarket brands like Progresso or Genova
are fine. Solid or chunk light tuna is tastier than solid white, which
tends to be dry.)

Chopped or pressed garlic to taste 1 tsp to 2 tbsps (fresh is best, but
chopped garlic from a jar is fine)

½ to 1 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves (or if you must, 2-3 tbsps of
dried chopped parsley)

1 tbsp capers (optional)

Black pepper or hot red pepper flakes to taste

Extra virgin olive oil or lemon flavored olive oil (optional)

Salt to taste

1.       Prepare the Miracle Noodles according to package directions.

2.       Open the tuna can and drain the olive oil from the can into a
saute or frying pan.  Put the tuna in a bowl and flake it with a fork.

3.       Add chopped garlic  to the pan and stir over medium heat until
golden. Add parsley and capers; stir until parsley begins to wilt. Stir in
the black or red pepper.

4.       Add a splash (about ½ to 1 tbsp) of extra virgin olive oil or,
preferably, lemon-infused olive oil (sometimes called citron oil), then
add the flaked tuna, stirring for a minute or two until heated. If the pan
seems dry, add a bit more oil.

5.        Taste for salt and add a pinch if needed.  The tuna and the
capers are salty, so you won’t need much and if you have used capers
preserved in salt, you can probably omit it.

6.       Toss with Miracle Noodles in a bowl, or add the noodles to the
pan and toss over low heat. Serve immediately.

Variations:

For a one-pot, highly nutritious meal, increase the amount of garlic and
omit the parsley. Instead, add ½ to 1 bunch of chopped raw kale, Swiss
chard or spinach (with stems removed) in step 3; it will take a minute or
two longer to wilt than the parsley.  A shake or two of hot red pepper
flakes and lemon-flavored oil are particularly good with these greens. (My
preference is for the chard or kale, which have a milder taste that blends
well with the tuna.)

Or, add cut-up green beans, lightly steamed and drained, to the pan with
the parsley. (Lemon-flavored oil really adds to this version).

For a more piquant flavor, add 1 or 2 tbsps  chopped sun-dried tomatoes
along with the parsley, and omit the lemon olive oil.

YUMMY!!! You can get the Miracle Noodles at www.Carbessentials.net.  So lets break this one down into it’s nutrition.
