Turn your burner off, drain it, and then put your pasta back into whatever you used. Add in your Cheddar Cheese and Parmesan & Romano Grated Cheese. Mix your cheese around until it’s melted. Add in your Garlic Powder, Onion Salt, and Greek Yogurt. Mix those in. Add in your Tuna and mix that in. Mouthgasm!
Tips:
- Top with some bread crumbs!
- Add in more Greek Yogurt if you want it to be creamier!
- Microwave it in :30 intervals to re-heat it!
Awesome recipe!!
Is the 6oz of pasta before or after it is cooked?!
Before
How many ounces for one bowl?
To find this out all you have to do is weigh the total recipe and divide into how many servings you want! I have a video on this if you haven’t checked it out yet!
Just made this tonight! Super tasty.
I’ve had some inedible dishes before, trying to use Greek yogurt for savory dishes, but this turned out awesome! Topped it with some breadcrumbs, used chicken breast instead of tuna, and got a delicious, protein packed meal under 350 calories!
Love it Annie! Thanks for the great feedback!!!
Can this be frozen, thawed in the fridge, and reheated?
Hey Nick! Yes, it sure can!
