How to Make Creamy Tuna Fettuccini

  1. Cook 1 pound fettuccine according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. While pasta cooks, drain 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna and flake it with a fork.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until mushrooms are softened and lightly browned.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Cook until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth, stirring constantly.
  6. Gently fold in the flaked tuna. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Add cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the creamy sauce.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley (approximately 2 tablespoons chopped).
