A delightful twist on the classic tuna mac and cheese, this recipe combines creamy textures with savory flavors for a meal the whole family will enjoy.
Boil water in a saucepan and cook the macaroni until al dente.
Adding a pinch of salt to the boiling water enhances the pasta's flavor.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from burning.
Add the drained tuna and diced tomatoes to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Ensure the tuna is well-drained to avoid excess liquid in the sauce.
Pour in the milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir continuously to prevent the milk from curdling.
Mix the cooked macaroni into the skillet, ensuring it is evenly coated with the sauce.
If the mixture seems dry, add a splash of milk to loosen it.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and stir until melted and creamy.
For a golden crust, transfer to a baking dish and broil for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the creamy tuna mac hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
