This recipe makes way more than 4-6 servings. I used 3 cups of small pasta shells (12 ounces) and it filled my large lasagna pan. I had to add more milk and tuna, and packaged up half for my neighbor. I did add some extra seasonings, but the taste was still on the bland side, although it did look pretty coming out of the oven and it was nice and creamy. Will try again using 2 cups of the pasta shells.

I finally found my favorite recipe for Tuna Noodle Casserole!! The sauce is super cheesy and creamy. My husband loved it, too, and says I have to keep making it this way. Thank you!!

Great,taste, great comfort food. This is very similar to our favorite tuna casserole. I only had less than a cup of peas so added a can of corn. We don't like celery so added some green olives and gardiniera veges leftover from previous recipe. We didn't have any velveeta so added 2 C cheddar grated. Made for PAC Fall 2009.

I love this recipe because it is easy to make and tastes yummy. My DB loves it too, which is surprising because it has peas which he is not fond of. Tastes really good reheated as well!
