2 (6-ounce) cans white albacore tuna (we like Chicken of the Sea)
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup heavy cream
1 (16-ounce) package cooked egg noodles or other pasta
Freshly grated parmesan cheese, for topping (optional, but not really, because it's so good!)
Freshly ground black pepper, for topping (optional)
Lemon wedges, for topping (optional)
Drain the flaked tuna and saute it in butter over medium heat until hot (try not to over-stir the tuna). Stir in lemon juice, cayenne pepper, parsley flakes, chicken broth, and heat thoroughly. Add cream and peas and heat thoroughly, making sure the mixture doesn't reach a boil. Serve over pasta, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and freshly ground pepper and lemon wedges.
Serves 4-6
