My husband's on a restricted diet, so I often make two single-serving dishes—one for him and one for me. I received this recipe from my aunt many years ago, and it's still one of my favorites today.—Peggy Burdick, Burlington, Michigan

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 chicken bouillon cube
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 can (3-1/4 ounces) light water-packed tuna, drained and flaked
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 2 teaspoons diced pimientos
  • 1 cup hot cooked egg noodles

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, saute onion in butter until tender. Stir in flour until blended; cook and stir for 1 minute. Gradually stir in milk. Add the bouillon, salt if desired and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Stir in the tuna, peas and pimientos; heat through. Serve with noodles.
