Pasta al tuna and cheesy sauce

Just once would not hurt... Today I left work a bit late. So I picked the kids from the creche a bit late, too.
In the car...
"Maman!!!! Can I have a biscuit?"
"No, it will be dinner time by the time we get home." Starting to think about what I could make for dinner

5 minutes later in the car...
"Maman, I'm hungry."
"We'll be home soon." thinking more...

3 minutes later, still in the car...
"Ma-Man, I'm starving!"
"Yep, yep, we'll be home soon." Still no idea of what I could make for dinner... thinking harder...

2 minutes later, still in the car...

"MA-Man!!! I'm staaaaarving!!!!"
Now seriously considering the take-away option, I am asking my 4 years-old: "What would you like to eat for dinner?"
"PIZZA!!!!"
"Mmmm, well, that's not really my idea of a healthy meal and we won't have time to make pizzas."
"No Maman, we'll get from the take-away."
"No honey. What about pasta?"
"Nooooo! PIZZA! I've lots of money in my piggy bank."
"Let me think honey..." At this stage, while I'm driving, I am also thinking very hard of what I could find in my cupboards...

1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes... hah he's finally asleep... Yay!!! I have few minutes to think freely about my express meal for tonight.

6 pm, we are home. Unsurprisingly, the little fairy did not make dinner for us. I open the fridge: I can see a small piece of mozzarella, tasty cheese, bacon, gherkins, olives... well,  not very inspiring...
The pantry: a can of tuna and pasta! Yay! I've got proteins and carbs, I need fibres, vegetables... I find frozen peas and frozen broccoli in the freezer.
Now, I need a sauce! I return to the fridge: no cream, no ricotta, or cream cheese. I return to the pantry. A can of tomatoes? No, we already had tomatoes yesterday... And miracle! I find a can of evaporated milk. What the hell is that? I remember buying from the store while I was doing WW and thinking: "well, there's less fat than in cream and they say it can be used as cream in sweet or savoury dishes. At least, I've got to try once". The very first has come; I'm making 'Pasta al tuna and cheesy sauce'.

Ingredients (4 servings)

- 200g dry pasta (I used small lasagna)

- 1 cup frozen peas

- 300g frozen broccoli (or 1 fresh)

- 1 can of tuna, in springwater

- 1/2 cup of evaporated milk

- 60g mozzarella, shredded

- 3 tsp lemon juice

- salt, black pepper

- 4 tsp grated parmesan

Cooking instructions (30 min.)

Put the frozen vegetables in 2 L of salted* cold water. Bring it to the boil. Then add the pasta and cook for 10 mins (or see instructions on the packet).

While the water is heating, put the mozzarella and the evaporated milk in a pot and cook for 10 mins. Stir occasionally. Season with the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Keep on low heat until the pasta are cooked.

Drain the pasta and the veggies. Put in a bowl and pour the cheesy sauce over the pasta. Give it a stir and serve and top with a teaspoon of parmesan on each serve.

Bon appétit!
