1

Cook and drain fettuccine as directed on package. Rinse with hot water; cover to keep warm.
2

Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, mix frozen asparagus, carrots and water. Cover; cook over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables start to soften. Stir in tuna and Alfredo sauce. Cover; cook until thoroughly heated.

In large serving bowl, toss warm fettuccine with tuna mixture. Garnish with parsley.

Expert Tips

You can use dried fettuccine in place of the refrigerated, but it will take longer to cook. The refrigerated fettuccine only takes 2 to 3 minutes to cook.
Look for julienne carrots in the produce section of the grocery store. They are a real time-saver!
