Tuna Parmesano

When my children were young, I realized  they had an abnormal love of pasta.  Not being a big fan of spaghetti myself, I often searched for new recipes.  I found this in one of my cookbooks for kids.  It's unusual in that it contains whipped cream in the cooking process.  Make extra... they will come back for more.


Tuna Parmesano

Ingredients:

    4 large Garlic Cloves
    18 oz Angel Hair Pasta
    1/2 cup Butter
    2 cups Whipping Cream
    2 cups Frozen Peas

    13 oz Canned Tuna, drained
    1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
