Add tuna to this

Salt and pepper, to taste


8 ounces fettuccine, cooked and drained





In a saucepan combine butter, heavy cream, and cream cheese. Simmer this until all is melted, and mixed well. Add the Parmesan cheese and garlic powder. Simmer this for 15 - 20 minutes over low heat.





Toss pasta lightly with sauce, coating well. Leftovers freeze well.

















Tuna Tetrazzini

1/4 cup chopped pimento


1 cup chopped ripe or green olives


1/4 cup chopped onion

NOTE: Omit chopped pimento if using stuffed green olives. You can also substitute evaporated milk for the heavy cream.





Cook spaghetti until tender in boiling, salted water; drain well. Melt butter in skillet. Add onion, pepper and celery. Cook until tender. Add cream, olives and cheese. Cook over low heat until cheese melts. Stir in tuna. Pour over spaghetti. Mix well. Pour into a 1 1/2-quart casserole and sprinkle top with more grated cheese.

~~~Mom's Tuna Casserole~~~





1 pkg. (12 oz.) package egg noodles or macaroni


1/4 cup chopped onion


2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese


1 cup frozen or canned green peas, drained


2 cans (6 oz.) chunk tuna, drained


2 cans (10.75 oz. ea.) cream of mushroom soup, undiluted


1/2 can (4.5 oz.) sliced mushrooms, drained -- optional


1-1/2 cups crushed potato chips





Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.


Cook pasta in boiling water for 8 minutes, or until


al dente; drain.





Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.





In a large bowl, thoroughly mix noodles, onion, 1 cup


cheese, peas, tuna, soup and mushrooms.





Transfer to a 9'; x 13'; inch baking dish, and top with


potato chip crumbs and remaining 1 cup cheese.





Bake, uncovered, for 15 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or


until cheese is bubbly.














Tuna Melts


1 cup water-packed tuna (3 1/2 ounce can)


1/2 cup mayonnaise


1 tablespoon chopped green pepper


1 1/2 teaspoons dill weed


1 1/2 teaspoons sweet relish


1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt


4 slices white bread


4 slices Cheddar cheese


4 slices tomatoes





In medium bowl, combine tuna with mayonnaise, onion, dill, relish and salt. Mix well. Layer two slices of bread with equal portions of tuna mixture, cheese and tomato slices. Top with remaining slices of bread. Spread both sides of sandwiches with margarine. Grill on both sides, covered, to heat filling and melt cheese.





Makes two sandwiches
cold tuna sandwich (tuna, mayonnaise, ice berg lettuce leaves, salt n pepper, buttered brown bread or buns......for extra zing add some BBQ sauce or chili paste...)





I also love tuna tartar...with cauliflower sauce and stir-fried shittake mushrooms in balsamic vinegar.....yummm....





a tuna salad is also healthy and super filling (just add cut up boiled eggs, ham bits or bacon bits, lettuce leaves, julienned tomatoes, olives and jalapeno peppers with a mayo, lime dressing....)





or one of my other favorites is tuna fillets smothered in cheese and white sesame seeds and deep fried!!!

Ingredients: 1 egg, 1 can Campbell's (or other) Cream of Mushroom soup, 1 small jar or can of mushrooms, 1 10 ounce can of chunk white tuna (any brand), 1 small can of green peas, 10 ounces of milk or condensed milk, 1 bag of grated cheese. 1 cup of butter or margarine.





1 box or bag of medium shell pasta.





In a casserole bowl, break and whip the egg. Stir in the tuna. Add the Cream of Mushroom soup and the milk. Stir well. Add the peas and the mushrooms, including the liquid contents of the cans. Stir. Put the butter or margarine on top and don't stir.





In a pot or pan, bring water to a boil and cook the pasta. Drain and add to the other contents. Stir well until there are no traces of the butter or margarine (I use Parkay in a tub, by the way).





Add the cheese on top. (Use your favorite. I like sharp cheddar, but any cheese will work.)





Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes in the casserole bowl--covered.

Delicious with this spicy lemon sauce:





http://www.outdoor-cooking.com/lemon-bbq鈥?/a>
a tuna steak is great prepared in a very hot frying pan with a little oil


cook 3-4 minutes on each side and you will have a nice pink center





a good salad is all you need with it
Its not very fancy...but my two year old loves it! Make a box of macaroni and cheese as directed on the box, then mix in a can of drained tuna. Its an easy and cheap tuna casserole.
I like cold tuna pasta salad
I like Lawry's marinades: teriyaki is especially good on tuna ... and then just BBQ the steaks
i like tuna raw, you just need wasabi sauce and kikkoman soy sauce.
