Tuna Cheesy Pasta w/ Dinner Rolls

Today’s Menu: Tuna Cheesy Pasta w/ Dinner Rolls

Just a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea to start the morning off. 87 degrees, humid and partly cloudy outside today. Well the Cicadas are out here around the neighborhood! The house across the street had quite a few already. After Lunch I took Mom over to the Dollar Store and then by Walmart. She wanted a couple of new bushes for the back side of the house. Back home I did a few chores around the house. Really getting humid out there today. For Dinner tonight I prepared Tuna Cheesy Pasta w/ Dinner Rolls.

I bought a box of Betty Crocker Tuna Helper Tuna Cheesy Pasta at Meijer the other day and it just sounded good for Dinner tonight. I’ve fixed many of the Helper styles before, first time we had the Tuna in a while. To make the Dish I’ll need; 1 Box of Tuna Helper, Water, 2% Milk, Butter, and 2 cans of Chicken of the Sea Tuna.

So to prepare it is very easy. I start by stirring the Pasta, Sauce Mix, Hot Water, Milk, Butter, and Tuna  in 10-inch skillet. I heat to  to boiling. Then I reduced the heat. Covered and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender. Then I uncovered it and cooked, while stirring, an additional 3 minutes. Done and ready to serve!

Good Dinner and so easy to prepare! Pasta was excellent with a lot good Cheese and the Tuna was perfect with the Noodles. The Dish is 280 calories and 21 net carbs per serving. I also heated up some of Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart Dinner Rolls. These are great for those of us with Diabetes 2, or for anyone who loves good rolls. The Rolls are only 35 calories and 1 carb per roll! That’s right 1 net Carb per roll! So a big thank you to Aunt Millie’s for these! For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Cherry Jello.
