The following week I made my baked tuna pasta dish with red sauce, I had to make another tuna pasta dish, this time with white sauce because my Husband loves white sauce in pasta dishes.
My Husband and I are opposites when it comes to food (example: he likes dark chocolate while I like white chocolate; he likes white sauce in pasta, I like red sauce). It's a good thing though, when we eat, there's always a variety.
Pasta in white sauce is equally delicious. But I love pasta in tomato sauce or sauce-less pastas because it has less fat. Anyway, it's not bad to have it once in a while, plus I get to make my Husband happier.

200g cooked pasta (I used spaghetti noodles this time)

Tips:
a. Carrots are optional. I just add those in because I wanted to up the healthy factor of this dish and I like seeing color on the food I eat.
b. You can use bacon as an alternative to tuna. Trust me, it's delicious.
Bon appetit!
