Quick Tuna Casserole

Pin It Now!

I am all for quick and easy dishes, as long as they are delicious!  I have been craving Tuna for some time now and decided it is about time to stop that craving.

Usually a good Tuna Sandwich will do it for me, but I wanted a more filling dish, and what better than to pair it up with pasta ..

If not for the bit of sauteing, this could almost be called a One-pot dish!
