A really fast stovetop meal of pasta, tuna and veggies in a creamy cheese sauce.
3 cups bow-tie pasta
2 tsp olive oil
1 red pepper, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 can condensed mushroom soup
1 cup cheddar cheese
1/4 cup light sour cream
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
2 tbsp sundried tomato pesto
1 tbsp fresh basil leaves, minced
2 green onions, sliced
1 can flaked light tuna in water, drained
Cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, heat oil in a non-stick skillet on medium heat. Add red pepper and garlic; saute for 3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook until sauce is bubbly and cheese has melted. Remove from heat and stir in pasta and tuna.
I couldn’t get enough of this stuff; I thought it was so good! Tony and Bennett really loved it too. Cole was another story. He refused to eat it, so after the boys’ bath-time when he said he was hungry I offered it to him again. He managed to swallow a few bites, then said ‘Mommy, can you please not make this again?’ Well, unfortunately for him I think I will be making this one again (sorry Cole).
My kids like to whine, especially when it comes to the food they eat, but that doesn’t stop me from trying to make tasty and healthy meals for them. Follow along as I share family-friendly recipes and reviews from my picky family members, who I lovingly call “The Whine Critics.”
