This delicious, filling dish is made almost entirely from pantry staples and canned goods. You'll need small orzo pasta, canned tomatoes, white beans, tuna in its own juices (or water), and spices, and the only fresh vegetables are small bell peppers and herbs. The orzo pasta and beans are simmered in tomato sauce in a large skillet until the pasta is tender, then canned tuna, bell peppers, and fresh herbs are added. Perfect for a hearty weeknight dinner—it cooks quickly, and only one dirty pan remains.
