Tuna noodles

oooh had this one tonight and it is a fave.   Sometimes I find the most basic and simple recipes are the tastiest and this proves the point.  Sometimes I tend to add too much in the way of spices and herbs and lose the taste of the protein and veg.

Ingredients:
100gr albacore tuna (if on protocol this is the only tuna you can have.  Coles brand make one and is the only one I have been able to find)
1/2c tomato puree
1c broccoli cut very small.
1/3 pack of angel hair slendier konjac noodles
S&P

Method:
In one pot put all ingredients except noodles into pot, stir well and put lid on and let simmer until broccoli is cooked through.   Rinse noodles well then add to sauce, let simmer another five minutes with lid on.
There!! How easy is that, to save washing you can even eat it out of the pot!

I call them rubber noodles

They aren't really rubber though.  They are a wheat free, low cal noodle made from konjac (which is a type of tropical potato) by a company called SlendierSlim.  These are allowed on the changing habits protocol, although only the 8cal or less.  They are available from coles, woolworths and I have found them at the Vitamin Shop in Hobart too.  The latter have the lasagne style noodle too.
They are very Asian in style and boost a meal if you are peckish or want to feel like you are eating like a normal person.
Today's lunch was noodles with some veg and chicken . My kids were wanting to steal from me so it must have been good!

Ingredients:
1/2 pack of slendier fettucine
3 spring onions cut fine
1c cauliflower
1c kale
100gr chicken chopped small
1/2c tomato puree
1/2tsp oregano
1/2tsp paprika
S&P to taste.

Method:
Chop veg small and either steam until soft or precook in pan if you want a one pan meal.  Saute onion and add chicken and spices, stir fry until cooked through and mix in veg and tomato puree.  I like to let it to simmer for about 10min to reduce and boost flavours.  Throw in your well rinsed noodles and cook for a further 5 min.  Enjoy!
