HERBED WHITE SAUCE:
1 1/2 Cups 1% milk
1 Cup chicken broth

1/2 Recipe linguine
made in pasta machine
(about 3-4 cups uncooked)
2 Cans white tuna in water
1 1/2 Cups frozen broccoli/carrot vegetable mix
Bring water for pasta to a boil. Meanwhile, bring milk, broth, garlic,
bay
leaf, thyme and pepper to a boil. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand
for
15 minutes. Remove bay leaf.
Melt margarine in saucepan. Stir in flour; cook, stirring constantly,
until
mixture is bubbly; about 1 minute. Add milk mixture, whisking
constantly.
Remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 2 minutes.
Return pan to medium high heat and bring to a boil, whisking constantly.
Reduce heat to medium low. Simmer, stirring often, until sauce has
thickened and is smooth, about 8 to 10 minutes. (I added a bit of Wondra
flour to this to thicken it a bit more, but be careful not to get it too
thick.) While sauce is simmering, cook pasta in boiling water; drain.
Microwave vegetables until just tender. Chop into small pieces.
Add tuna and vegetables to sauce and mix. Carefully fold in cooked
pasta.
