This dinner is fashioned after the classic Italian salad of the same name. In this dish, fresh, seared tuna is served atop a lovely cannellini bean stew and orzo pasta.
Leftovers make a great salad when tossed with mixed field greens.
Basil leaves or chive stems for garnish Start first with the bean stew. Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet. Stir in drained beans and tomatoes. Saute another 15 minutes, adding salt and pepper to taste. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the directions on the package.
