2
cups milk
1 2/3
cups hot water
3
tablespoons butter or margarine
1
box Tuna Helper® creamy pasta
2
medium carrots, cut into 1/8-inch slices (1 cup)
2
cans (5 oz each) tuna, drained
1
cup Green Giant® Valley Fresh Steamers™ frozen broccoli cuts, thawed, drained
1
jar (4.5 oz) Green Giant® sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 1 In 12-inch skillet, heat milk, hot water, butter, contents of uncooked pasta and sauce mix pouches (from Tuna Helper box), carrots and tuna to boiling over high heat, stirring occasionally.
  • 2 Reduce heat. Cover; simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • 3 Stir in broccoli and mushrooms. Cover; simmer about 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat; let stand covered 5 minutes (sauce will thicken as it stands).

Expert Tips

Tuna now comes in pouches, which are easy to use because the tuna doesn't need to be drained.
