Rich, creamy, and finished with a subtle kick, this Tuna Fettuccine Alfredo offers a fresh take on a classic favourite. Made with Clover Leaf Flaked Light Tuna in Olive Oil and Olive Oil & Chili Pepper, it’s brightened with sweet cherry tomatoes and garlic, all brought together in a light, silky cream sauce. Topped with fresh basil and a sprinkle of Parmigiano Reggiano, it’s an easy yet indulgent option for any night of the week.
