   2       tb           Corn oil
   4       md           Shallots, chopped fine
   2       md           Garlic cloves, chopped fine
     1/2   lb           Button mushrooms, cut into
                        -1/4-inch slices
   1       c            Evaporated nonfat milk
   1       oz           Grated parmesan cheese
   1       cn           White tuna in spring water,
                        Broken into chunks (6 1/2oz)
   2       tb           Fresh Italian parsley,
                        -finely chopped
   1       tb           Fresh chives, chopped fine
                        Freshly ground black pepper
                        Cooked pasta of your choice

  In a large saucepan or skillet, heat the oil with the shallots and garlic
  over moderate heat. When the vegetables sizzle, raise the heat to high and
  add the mushrooms, sauteing just until they begin to brown, 4 to 5
  minutes.
  Reduce the heat and add the evaporated milk. Simmer briskly, stirring
  frequently to guard against boiling over, until the milk reduces by about
  a third, to a creamy consistency, 5 to 7 minutes.
  Stir in the parmesan cheese and, as soon as it melts, fold in the tuna and
  herbs. Simmer just until the tuna is heated through, then spoon over
  cooked pasta. Season with black pepper to taste.
