10 oz. pasta - shells, radiatore, or wagon wheels
2 Tsp. olive oil

Add mushrooms to pan and cook until tender. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring to coat, for 1 minute.
Gradually stir in the broth, evaporated milk, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce to a summer, and cook until the sauce is slightly thickened and no floury taste remains, about 3 mins.

I don't like tuna cold....so I simplly take a can of tuna (albacore of course), cut up some onion -green pepper--and celery and add some fat free mayo (enough to make it moist)...place in a cassarole pan sprayed with pam, then sprinkle the top with about 2tsp parmesean cheese and 2tsp bread crumb.....then bake at 350 for about 20-30 minutes....doesn't taste fishy and is totally yummy.....0

bumping this while i decide what to make for lunch
i just started eating tuna too so these recipes are perfect!0 -
If you like spicy foods you can cut up jalapenos, tomatoes, and onions (pico del gallo) and eat it with crackers. Super yummy and full of flavor......plus, no mayo.0

Lemon, Olive Oil, and salt and pepper. THE best!0

Oooh- I never thought of cottage cheese. I'm so trying this for lunch tomorrow! Thanks!0

I LOVE TUNA! And I can't wait to try some of these ideas. This is a common lunch for me...
Tuna and chickpea sandwich spread (makes about 3 servings...3/4 cup each and about 285 cal per serving. You can also omit the tuna for a vegetarian option)
1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed-smash with a fork or in a food processor.
1 can tuna in water
1 T mayo with olive oil
1 T light ranch
1 T lemon juice
1 tsp dill weed
1/2 a small onion-chopped
1 roma tomato- diced
1 stalk celery-chopped
salt and pepper to taste.
Mix all the ingredients well and use as a sandwich filling, on a bed of baby spinach, or my favorite...with a handful of spinach in a whole wheat pita pocket:)
I have also added cucumbers, chopped dill pickle, or boiled egg to this...0 -
I like to add some low fat blue cheese dressing instead of mayo. It is a low fat tuna sandwich with a differnt taste.0
-
These sound really great! Can't wait to try one for lunch tomorrow.0

Tuna wiggle: My Niece loves this
(Make a roux)
2TBL lite margarine melted
Stir in1/3c flour - cook slowly ....sometimes leave 1tbl out and mix with warm sauce after milk added (make smooth flour slurry) then add back in pot, helps to thicken sauce....must cook slow and through to take flour taste out.
Gradually ADD 2 cups 1/2 % milk
Stir on med. low heat til thickens (make cream sauce)
ADD in 1c. peas (Drain peas if canned...I used frozen)
ADD one 5 oz can drained tuna.........continue stirring so does not stick on
Add own seasonings....... garlic/onion powder and sprinkle salt & pepper
Heat through
Serve over choice of crackers or toast........we prefer saltines or wheat ritz crumbled ....sometimes eat plain
Approx 305 cals /serving makes 2 servings ( without crackers or bread)0 -
Good Idea!0

I like my tuna with onion which gives it zip, dill pickle, the white part of the hard boiled egg. I love to grill it with light margarine or between two pieces of lettuce with tomato. You can put it on some whole wheat crackers. Don't forget to season it with Mrs. Dash or something similar.0
