This was truly a great idea. I had no idea what to do with tuna and cream cheese and then I found this recipe. I used more pasta (2x) and rather than using cream of mushroom soup I put in fresh mushrooms and some sherry with a little ground thyme and rosemary and a tsp or so of balsamic vinaigrette. It was delicious! Oh yeah, I didn't use the cornflakes either. Mess with this recipe people, it's a great one!

This was a winner with my family, although I tweaked the recipe a bit to fit what we had in the pantry. We had no pimientoes or green peppers, so I used a small can of green chiles, no tuna (ironically), so I used 10oz of salmon. I used yellow mustard and five drops of hot chinese mustard for an extra kick. :) The baking time ended up being more like 30 minutes, and was a little soupier than expected, but tasted wonderful. Although the family agreed that next time there should be more macaroni and mustard. Thanks for the lovely recipe, I will definitely make this again! -Emilee
