I chose to make this for the "My Three Chefs" challenge. Due to the high fat and sodium ratio, I did some tweaking to lower this. 1. After I drained the oil from the tuna,I rinsed it to remove the rest of the oil. 2.I cut the margarine to two tbls. 3. I cut the flour to 3 tbls to make the roux and added some of the starchy water from the cooked noodles. So you see, I did not add or take away any ingredients. The end results was a tasty, but somewhat bland meal that had some hot pepper sauce added at the table to add some kick.
