Curried Tuna Salad in Pasta Shells

A different appetizer. The curried tuna salad comes from The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook and can be made ahead and refrigerated until ready to stuff the shells; the jumbo pasta shells were my Mom's idea years ago. The tuna salad could also be served in savory cream puffs or on crackers, etc.
