I cooked Creamy Tuna Pesto Pasta for meryenda yesterday and the kids loved it, especially my "picky eater" Andi.. Happiness for a mother!♥
I haven't tried making my own pesto, so I bought easy to make/ready made pesto.
Ingredients:
500g Linguine Pasta (cook as directed)
1 pack McCormick Pesto Perfect Pasta Sauce mix
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup water
250 ml Nestle All-Purpose Cream
1 small can of mushrooms
2 cans century tuna flakes in brine (drained)
grated Parmesan
salt and pepper
Make the pesto, (for the McCormick Pesto) in a saucepan, combine Pesto sauce mix, water and oil. Cook over medium heat until warmed. Add the all-purpose cream, drained tuna and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Toss in cooked pasta, transfer to a serving dish and top with grated Parmesan.
This is so easy to make and the kids loved it 'cause it has all their favorites on it! I kinda' work around their favorite food so I know they'll pretty much like it.
my happy boy! |
