- 1 cup frozen peas

Materials
- 9-inch square baking dish
- Can opener
- Colander
- Cutting board
- Large bowl
- Large pot
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- Mixing spoon
- Sharp knife
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Boil the pasta according to package directions. Drain in a colander. Run under water until cool to the touch, to keep noodles from sticking together.
- Rinse and finely chop green onions.
- Drain canned salmon. In a large bowl, mix salmon, pasta, green onions, peas, yogurt, dill or parsley, salt, and black pepper.
- Transfer pasta mixture to a 9-inch square baking dish.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over pasta mixture. Bake 25-30 minutes, until bubbling and golden.
Chef’s Notes
- Try using 1 (12-ounce) can low-sodium tuna in water instead of the salmon.
- Kick up the flavor by adding a pinch of ground cayenne pepper to the pasta mixture. Or, top with hot sauce when served.
