Really easy, I love that the pasta doesn’t have to be pre-cooked. The only change I made was using regular egg noodles. Perfect weeknight meal! Delicious!??

This is wonderful as written, but I like it even better using chicken in place of the tuna. I needed to take a dish for a potluck and knew some had seafood allergies, so decided to swap out a can of chicken for the tuna. I took the advice of a previous reviewer and doubled the tuna/or chicken. Lynne, TOH Volunteer Food Editor
