Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni or small pasta shape
  • 1 (5 ounce) can tuna in water, drained well
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, and water. Stir to combine.
  4. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Stir in the uncooked macaroni. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the drained tuna, frozen peas, and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese melts and the peas are heated through.
  7. Serve the creamy tuna pasta immediately.

Notes

  • For a brighter flavor, substitute 1/2 cup of the milk with 1/2 cup of chicken broth.
  • You can use any canned tuna variety you prefer, such as tuna packed in oil, but drain it thoroughly.
  • If you want a richer sauce, stir in 2 tablespoons of cream cheese along with the cheddar cheese at the end.
