Not everybody loves tuna casserole (in fact I’m the only one in my house that does), but who doesn’t love a quick easy dish that’s somewhat healthy? This is actually one of my kids’ favorite dishes and the great part is that it’s ingredients most people have on hand. It’s one of my go to dishes when I forget to plan dinner.

Ingredients:
1/2 lb (half a pkg usually) shaped noodles, shells or rotini work well
1 1/2 c veggies, we usually use peas
1 can tuna, drained
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2-1 tsp garlic powder (or 1 small clove pressed garlic)
salt and pepper to taste
parmesan cheese optional

Directions:
1. Cook pasta and veggies according to their directions.
2. Flake tuna with a fork and add to pasta. Add veggies and stir together.
3. Drizzle olive oil over the pasta mixture. Stir to coat lightly. Add a little more if you need to.
4. Mix in the spices to taste. Serve with parmesan cheese over the top if you prefer.

It’s a super easy peasy recipe that’s great for those nights you just don’t feel like making a big meal for the family.
