In my pantry, you can usually find a can of tuna and some
pasta at all times. As a child I
remember my mother making this dish a lot (probably because it was cheap eats) Sometimes the best things in life are nearly
free, right? This whole meal to feed a
family would cost under $8 and fills you up!
I spruced it up from the original recipe with a little dill and white
truffle oil.

Where to find White
Truffle Oil: I bought mine on Amazon
and it was $14.50 with free shipping.
The good news is that a little goes a long way so the cost is totally
worth it.
What else White
Truffle Oil is used For: I put this
stuff on everything! I jazz up a can of
soup, drizzle it on cheese and crackers, veggies, potatoes, and use in
pasta.
