I love tuna. Love! I have it at least thrice a week thrown into my quinoa with veggies, folded into an egg for an omelette, or mixed with pasta for a quick, healthy meal.

Here’s one of our favorite family recipes, Tuna Quinoa Spaghetti, not just because it’s quick, easy, and delicious, but also because it’s healthy!

  • 1 package quinoa spaghetti cooked according to package directions (I got mine at Healthy Options)
  • bunch of spring onions for garnish
  • salt and pepper to taste
