Tuna and white sauce is something that my mom made when I was growing up. It’s the ultimate poor meal. It’s super fast, super tasty and if you keep a can of tuna and some frozen peas on hand, you’ll always have something for dinner.

Melt 4 1/2 Tbs of butter in a large skillet. Stir in 8 Tbs of flour and season with salt and pepper.

Gradually whisk in 4 cups of milk. Cook, stirring frequently until thickened. Stir in 1 large can of tuna (or 2 small) drained, and 2 cups of frozen peas. Cook until peas are heated through.

Serve over toast or bread.

Serves at least four.
