Give Your Alfredo Dish A Heartier Bite Using Canned Tuna
BY JULIA HOLLAND
If you want to elevate the taste of your alfredo sauce, consider giving its cheesy, bold, and thick flavor profile a hearty boost by adding the umami-rich canned tuna.
Whether you're making the dish from scratch or buying your favorite store-bought brand, canned tuna is an easy addition to Alfredo sauce because it's pre-cooked.
For the scratch-made version, add drained canned tuna after the spices and parmesan cheese. As the Alfredo sauce thickens, the tuna will disperse and bring more heft to the sauce.
For store-bought Alfredo sauce, warm the sauce in a saucepan, bringing it to a slow simmer. Then, add the tuna along with drained pasta to a saucepan, stirring to combine.
