1 stalk(s) celery, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 Tbsp jarred, minced garlic
2 carrots, quartered and chopped, small
3 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 1/2 c frozen peas
Green or red pepper, chopped, i didn't use today, just sauté with other veggies if usin
Sliced potabellas - optional - i didn't add today...just saute with other veggies
MILD CHEESE SAUCE - ADD ANOTHER CUP OF CHEESE FOR A BIT CHEESIER SAUCE IF THAT WHAT YOU PREFER
1/3 c each - flour & butter
2 c 2% milk
1 c cream
1/2 c shredded parmesan
1 - 2 c mild shredded cheddar cheese - i only used 1 cup today
Pinch nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. Cook pasta and drain. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together butter and flour. Cook for at least one minute, stirring constantly. Whisk in the milk, cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stirring constantly until begins to lightly boil and thicken. Remove from heat and add cheeses, stirring until melted. Set aside.

  • 3. In a large bowl, add pasta, peas, tuna, mayonnaise, vegetables and cheese sauce. Toss to coat pasta.
