Thaw fish, if frozen. Measure thickness of fish fillets.

In a large skillet bring wine or broth to boiling. Add fish. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer until fish just begins to flake when tested with a fork (allow 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of fish). Drain fish; discarding liquid. Cut fish into bite-size pieces.

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain pasta; rinse with cold water. Drain again.

In a large mixing bowl stir together yogurt, celery, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and red pepper. Add fish and pasta. Toss gently to coat. Spoon pasta mixture into four au gratin dishes.

Bake in a 400 degree F oven about 15 minutes or until heated through and crumbs are golden. If desired, garnish with additional chives. Makes 4 main-dish servings.

Old-Fashioned Chicken & Dumplings
Our revision of creamy chicken and dumplings uses whole-wheat flour for the dumplings and adds lots of vegetables to the filling. The delicious, satisfying results are packed with beneficial nutrients and dietary fiber, and because we don't use canned soup for the sauce, sodium levels are drastically reduced. To go even lighter, try the recipe with boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
