What it is

To prepare, you will typically need to cook the included pasta according to the package directions. While the pasta is cooking, you will drain your canned tuna. Once the pasta is done, you will drain any excess water and return the pasta to the pot. Then, you add the tuna and the seasoning mix from the box. You will also add milk and stir everything together. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens and coats the pasta nicely. It's a one-pot method for a complete meal.
