½ cup chopped red bell pepper Red and Yellow Field Bell ½ cup canned quartered artichoke hearts, drained and cut in half
1 cup lightly packed baby kale
4 pitted Kalamata olives, roughly chopped
1 (3 ounce) can no-salt-added light tuna in water, drained
½ cup cooked farfalle, preferably whole-wheat
1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon toasted chopped walnuts
Juice from ¼ lemon (optional)
Preparation
Whisk hummus and water in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper; cook for 1 minute. Add artichoke hearts, kale, and olives. Gently stir in tuna, trying not to not break up large pieces; cook until the tuna is warmed, about 1 minute more. Stir in pasta. Remove from heat and toss with the hummus sauce. Top with feta and walnuts and drizzle with lemon juice, if desired.
To make ahead: Cook pasta up to 1 day ahead and refrigerate.
4 packets Splenda Naturals or 1 tbsp Steviva Blend
Steps:
In a chilled bowl (add to the freezer for about 5 minutes), add heavy cream, then use a hand mixer for 3-5 minutes until it becomes whipped cream and can make peaks.
Add sweetener and vanilla and whip again. Add cream cheese and blend for another couple minutes until smooth (or mostly smooth).
