What can I substitute for evaporated milk in a pasta recipe?

I have a creamy tuna and pasta recipe that calls for a can of evaporated milk. I don't have any, is there something I can substitue it with.


Please don't tell me to just go buy some as I live a long way from the shops so that isn't an option. I just wanted to try a new recipe for my family for tea. If I can't I'll cook it another day.What can I substitute for evaporated milk in a pasta recipe?
Milk would work , or cream or 1/2 %26amp; 1/2. Or use 1/2 the amount of cream cheese, with some milk. Cream cheese is awesome in creamy sauces and soups.





Hint. Put the cream cheese in the microwave for a minute and add the milk, mix well then add to the rest of your sauce.What can I substitute for evaporated milk in a pasta recipe?
Cream would be best,milk you can get by with but will have to simmer it longer to reduce it...and use much less...
light cream or half and half
I use coconut milk in place of evaporated in most recipes.
i would use half cream and half milk!!
you could use light cream same proportions hope I helped
use 2/3 evaporated milk cut with 1/3 water so it is not to thick
Since you are so far away from the store and you dont want to go there, you are limited to the dairy products you have on hand. If you dont have cream or half and half, you are pretty much out of luck. Milk will not thicken enough.
If you have cream or half and half use that or if you have powdered milk, use that along with milk for a richer taste. In a pinch, just use what you have.
