Tuna Tetrazzini



I've had this recipe for what seems like eons. After the first time I tried it, I knew it would be in frequent rotation. It's good, cheap, quick and easy. Many nights I don't mind experimenting or cooking something that takes time, but sometimes, you just want good comfort food, and fast. I almost always have the ingredients on hand to make this, and it never disappoints!

First, combine the butter, water and milk in a large skillet and heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring frequently. Then add the noodles,



stirring to coat them all with the liquid. Then stir in the peas.



Bring this mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat. Simmer for 6-8 minutes or until noodles are tender. Then stir in the soup, mushrooms,



tuna,



and parmesan cheese,



stirring well after adding each ingredient.



Continue to cook just until it is heated through.

  6. Perfect for Foodie Friday! My mom used to make this with potato chips on top--it was THE recipe for 60s luncheons (and with chicken, too) and bridal showers, and it holds a warm place in my foodie memories. Plus, it's delicious and will not break the bank.Hope you have a great weekend!
