1/2 tablespoon butter
1 (6 ounce) can tuna in water, drained
salt & pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Combine the corn starch and milk in a small saucepan, stir until smooth.
2. Add the 4 tablespoons butter.
3. Simmer over medium heat for 1 minute stirring constantly with a wire whisk.
4. Continue simmering until the sauce thickens stirring constantly.
5. Add salt and pepper if necessary.
