1 1/2 cups 1% milk
1 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon margarine
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons fat free parmesan cheese
FOR THE PASTA AND VEGETABLES:
about 3-4 cups uncooked fresh linguine
2 cans (6 oz each) white tuna in water
1 1/2 cups frozen broccoli/carrot vegetable mix
TO MAKE THE HERBED WHITE SAUCE:
