Tuna Niçoise Casserole
To make a classic salad from the south of France a bit heartier for a weeknight family meal, we've transformed a tuna Niçoise into a stove top couscous casserole.
Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Bolognese Sauce
Traditionally, gnocchi is made with regular potatoes, while bolognese sauce can include whole milk or even cream. By using sweet potatoes, lean ground turkey and skim milk, we've taken some of the heft out of this dish and added a bit more nutritional interest.
Steak & Farfalle Pasta with Creamy Tomato Sauce
We've chosen to keep it light for this steak pasta recipe with a tomato-based sauce smoothed with sour cream. Top that off with lean steak and lesser-known whole-wheat farfalle pasta, and you've got yourself a deliciously clean dinner sure to please any pasta lover in your family.
Salmon Corn Chowder with Quick & Healthy Corn Bread
The sweetness of late-season corn combines with heart-healthy salmon in this bowl of salmon corn chowder that is chock-full of both flavor and nutrition. If you pop our clean corn bread into the oven as you start on the chowder, you'll have fresh bread ready for dipping just before your chowder hits the table.
