ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups orzo pasta
- 2 (12 ounce) cans tuna, drained
- 1⁄2 cup onion, diced
- 3⁄4 cup mushroom, sliced
- 1 small carrot, shaved into ribbons and then ribbons cut in half width wise
- 1 cup corn, from a can
- 1 cup baby peas, from a can
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can 98% fat-free condensed mushroom soup
- 1⁄3 cup nonfat milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1⁄2 cup low-fat swiss cheese, cubed
directions
- Cook orzo according to packet directions. Mine says to cook for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile heat a large skillet and either spray with cooking spray (as I do) or add a bit of oil.
- Saute onions and mushrooms for about 2 minutes just until the onions start to soften.
- Stir in the corn and cook for another minute or so just to warm through.
- Add the tuna, peas and carrot ribbons.
- Add the can of soup to the pan and stir so that all the vegetables are coated.
- Add milk and stir until the sauce thickens up slightly.
- Add in the garlic powder, parsley and ground pepper.
- By now the orzo should be finished cooking. Drain it well and stir into the pan containing the vegetables and soup mix. Stir really well so that the orzo and is well blended with the mixture.
- Add cubes of cheese and stir until the cheese has melted and evenly distributed itself amongst the dish.
- Serve.

I am originally from the Philadelphia area of the United States but have been living in London, UK since 1996. I now have dual American and British citizenship. I became a widow at the age of 27 in 2004 but have managed to fall in love again and was married again on July 19, 2008.
I have a double major honors degree in sociology and politics and am slowly working my way through a Masters.
I am a wanabee writer but until that dream becomes a reality I work in internet marketing where I build websites for profit. So, it is nice to come to a site like this and just enjoy being on the internet rather than using it as a work environment.
I am a BBW (big woman) but over the past two years I have lost over 80lbs and am working my way down the scales slowly but steadily.
These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it.
