Whole Grain Spaghetti With Tuna and Vegetables image

I made this recipe up when I was craving a pasta dish, but also wanted to keep it nutritious and full of veggies and healthy protein b/c I had just had a hard work out. This turned out great so I needed to post it so I could remember what I threw together for future reference :)
