Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water or milk to restore creaminess.

Substitutions: You can substitute tuna with canned salmon or sardines for a different seafood flavor. For a vegetarian version, omit the tuna and add extra peas or white beans.

Tip: If the pasta seems too dry after combining, add a little more reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
