Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 2 5 oz cans canned tuna (packed in water, drained)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 10.5 oz can cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, about 7-8 minutes. Drain the noodles and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the frozen peas to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and milk, mixing until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the drained tuna, breaking it up gently with a spoon, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese has melted.
Season the mixture with dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Add the drained noodles to the skillet and gently toss to coat everything evenly with the sauce.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, to ensure the dish is heated through.
Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of parsley if desired.
