Creamy cheesy tuna carbonara

It's just a regular Tuesday afternoon and the internet connection is very slow. And, i got bored. I remember I have some elbow macaroni left (i made some baked mac and cheese last sunday, will post it soon!), and thought of cooking some tuna carbonara. I checked the fridge, and, no eggs!! But what the heck, i still got milk, cream and cheese here. Besides, they say raw egg is not good for pregnant woman. (I'm on my 5th month!). So, I decided to just go on with what I have in the kitchen. 

Here's a very simple recipe. :)



  • 1 All Purpose Cream
  • 3/4 cup Carnation Evaporated Milk
  • 200mg Elbow Macaroni
  • 1 cup Grated Quickmelt Cheese
  • 180g Canned Tuna (drained)
  • 3 Tbsp. Butter
  • Pinch of Ground Pepper
  • Pinch of salt
What to do?

  1. Combine butter and tuna in a medium-heated pan. Continue stirring.
  2. Pour the all purpose cream and evaporated milk gradually. Stir.
  3. Put the grated cheese and continue stirring until sauce is thick.
  4. Add a pinch of pepper and salt to taste
  5. Continue stirring until desired thickness is achieved. Set aside.
  6. For the pasta: Bring water to boil. Add a pinch of salt then add pasta.
  7. Continue stirring for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain.
  8. Pour the sauce on top of the pasta and serve. :)
Easy right? And this one is very creamy and cheesy! Makes a great "meryenda" for everyone! :)
