What it is

The intention is to provide a quick and easy meal solution for busy households. The components are pre-portioned to simplify preparation.
How people cook with it
This product is ideal for weeknight dinners when time is limited. It offers a satisfying pasta dish with minimal effort.
- Quick weeknight dinner

To prepare, you will typically boil the included pasta until it is tender. While the pasta cooks, you will drain a can of tuna and set it aside. After draining the pasta, you will return it to the pot and add water and the seasoning mix. Stirring continuously over medium heat allows the sauce to thicken and coat the pasta. Finally, you gently stir in the drained tuna until it is heated through. The result is a creamy, cheesy pasta dish ready to serve.
