Easy Tuna Casserole

Easy Tuna Casserole

This is THE EASIEST meal you can make for your family. My children love it; they get seconds and thirds. Throw it on a plate with some green peas and a garden salad, and you have a healthy, home cooked meal that takes you as long as it takes the macaroni to boil.

Notes

You can use any kind of pasta. Medium shells are nice because they capture the sauce nicely. I've used tri-colored rotini. Any small, bite-sized pasta works.
