1

In 12-inch skillet, heat milk, hot water, butter, uncooked pasta and sauce mix (from Tuna Helper box), carrots and tuna to boiling over high heat, stirring occasionally.
2

Reduce heat; cover and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in peas 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 also comes in pouches, which are easy to use because the tuna doesn't need to be drained.
