Make a comforting, creamy tuna pasta dinner quickly using just one pot. This recipe uses pantry staples for a fast weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces pasta (like rotini or penne)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna in water, drained
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Place the pasta, olive oil, onion, garlic, soup, milk, water, parsley, and pepper into a large skillet or pot.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent the pasta from sticking.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally during simmering.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the drained tuna, frozen peas, and shredded cheese until the cheese melts and everything is combined.
  5. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a brighter flavor, substitute half the cream of mushroom soup with 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt stirred in at the end.
  • If you prefer a less thick sauce, add an extra 1/4 cup of water or milk during the simmering stage.
  • You can use any canned tuna variety you have on hand.
