Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 2 5 oz cans canned tuna
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 4 oz, cubed cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp, chopped (optional for garnish) parsley
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
Stir in the egg noodles and reduce the heat to medium. Cover the pot and cook the noodles for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the noodles are tender, reduce the heat to low and stir in the milk, frozen peas, cubed cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
Drain the canned tuna and flake it into the pot. Gently stir to combine, ensuring the tuna is evenly distributed.
Season with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Remove the pot from the heat. Let it sit for a minute to thicken slightly.
Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
