    This was good. It needed some salt, imo, although dh said that it didn't. It reminded me of tuna tettrazini. This is great because my dh is watching his cholesterol and because I'm watching my sugars, I subbed broccoli for the peas. It made for a very tasy combination.

    I used Bumble Bee Albacore solid white, packed in water. The total fat for 2 cans is 2g, and sat fat is 0g. I also use no fat milk there is 0 fat in this milk. Using these 2 products will lower the Nutritional Information by 2.84g total fat and approx 0.945g sat fat.

    I am becoming a pasta fan with recipes like this one!! This was excellent, simple and quick. I, too, used skim milk but I added to the fat by replacing one can of tuna with a can of smoked oysters. Hope everyone uses real parmesan cheese and not the cardboard stuff. It makes a difference. Thank for the recipe.
