Ingredients
2 tbsp corn oil
4 medium shallots, chopped fine
2 medium garlic cloves, chopped fine
1/2 lb button mushrooms, cut into 1/4-inch, slices
1 cup evaporated nonfat milk
1 oz grated parmesan cheese
1 can white tuna in spring water,
1 broken into chunks (6 1/2oz)
2 tbsp fresh italian parsley, finely chopp, ed
1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped fine
1 freshly ground black pepper
1 cooked pasta of your choice
Directions
In a large saucepan or skillet, heat the oil with the shallots and
garlic over moderate heat. When the vegetables sizzle, raise the heat
to high and add the mushrooms, sauteing just until they begin to
brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and add the evaporated milk.
Simmer briskly, stirring frequently to guard against boiling over,
until the milk reduces by about a third, to a creamy consistency, 5
to 7 minutes. Stir in the parmesan cheese and, as soon as it melts,
fold in the tuna and herbs. Simmer just until the tuna is heated
through, then spoon over cooked pasta. Season with black pepper to
taste.
