EENIE MEENIE FETTUCCINE
Source of Recipe
Looney-Spoons Cookbook by Janet and Greta Podleski
List of Ingredients
12 ounces uncooked fettuccine (plain or spinach)
2 tablespoons butter
1-2 cloves garlic, minced (depending on your taste)
1-1/2 cups 2% milk
1-1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1.3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon each salt and black pepper
1 can (6 ounces) water-packed tuna, drained
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley Recipe
Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Drain and return to pot.
While pasta is cooking, prepare sauce. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Mix the milk and flour together until smooth. Add to garlic. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook and stir until mixture is bubbly and thickened, about 4-5 minutes.
Reduce heat to low. Stir in Parmesan cheese, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 more minutes, until cheese is melted. Stir in tuna, sour cream, and peas. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Pour sauce over fettuccine and toss to coat. Sprinkle parsley over top. Serve with extra Parmesan cheese and black pepper, if desired. Best if served immediately.
Makes 4 servings.
Hint: For a tasty variation, try replacing the canned tuna with canned, skinless salmon, chopped cooked chicken breast, or cooked shrimp. Yum-o-rama!
