Everythin Goes Chick Pea and Tuna Noodle Casserol

The beauty of Casseroles is you virtually cannot make a mistake. I am equally guided by my cravings, the food we have on hand and optimizing nutritional content when inventing any dish. To maximize the protein portion here I added the chick peas on a whim. This dish makes a nice any meal: lunch, snack or dinner. Enjoy!
