And old standard: pasta with tuna

0

Category: , ,

Made an old standard tonight: pasta with cream of mushroom soup and canned tuna. Kind of like the idea behind Hamburger Helper.

Cooked pasta, drained, then added 1 can cream of mushroom soup (condensed), 1 can of tuna and 1 can of peas.

For veggies, I diced some zucchini and stir-fried it with bagged cole slaw, and served on the side.

Voila! A quick and easy meal, which makes a nice change from yesterday's take-forever risotto! ;-)

Lesson learned: cook the zucchini first! It takes longer to cook than shredded cabbage.

Total cost:
half a bag of farfalle = 50 cents
1 cream of mushroom soup = 69 cents
1 can of tuna in water = 99 cents
1 can of sweet peas = 79 cents
1/3 bag cole slaw = 50 cents
1 zucchini = 50 cents

Grand Total$3.97
