Creamed Tuna & Peas

3 Tbsp butter
4 Tbsp flour
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups frozen peas
12 oz tunafish

Begin by melting the butter in a 2-quart saucepan. Use a fork or a whisk to stir in the flour making sure it is smooth. Gradually stir in the milk. If you have a whisk you can go a little faster because a whisk can beat out any lumps. If you are using a fork then go very slowly so you can keep the mixture smooth. When the mixture is smooth stir in the salt and pepper. Cook and stir the sauce until it begins to boil. Allow it to boil for a full minute by the clock. Now remove the sauce from the heat.

Add and the tuna. Stir gently and reheat only till boiling again. Cook gently until peas are cooked.
Serve over toast, biscuits, rice or noodles.
