One-Pan Creamy Tuna Alfredo Pasta

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds umami flavor.

In a pan over medium heat, add 1/4 cup of butter and three cloves of minced garlic.

Sauté until the garlic aroma fills the kitchen.

Toss in 1/4 cup of thinly diced bell peppers and stir for about a minute to soften them.

Pour in 1 and 1/4 cups of heavy cream and 1 and 1/4 cups of milk, stirring well and bringing it to a gentle boil.

Once it starts bubbling, add 200 g of drained tuna and 1/4 cup of sliced black olives, stirring for another minute.

Add 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese and mix until the cheese melts and everything is creamy.

Turn off the heat and add 300 g of cooked spaghetti straight into the pan.

Gently toss everything together until the pasta is fully coated in the sauce.

Season with a touch of salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve while hot and sprinkle some more grated cheddar cheese on top.
