MMMMM! I needed something fast and easy after church tonite and this fit the bill! I tossed in a can of corn for good measure and topped it off with some black pepper. Forgot to add the 1/4 can of water but it didnt need it. My 3 yr old ate 2 bowls so this warrants a 5 star in my book!

For just 3 ingredients this was good! I liked that it was fast and homemade. I had to add peas because tuna and noodles isn't great until peas are added. The kids liked this too.

My mom makes something similar just a few differences. She adds no water but instead adds peas. I have always loved it as a kid. Can be served warm once made and leftovers can be served cold if you like its still wonderful.

Yummy! Great recipe for when you're down to canned goods and pasta in the pantry! I added some frozen broccoli to mine and topped it with a little Parmesan cheese! YUM! Even the kids went back for seconds!

Made with my normal staple foods, this was so easy to make and tasted very good. But don't stop with these few ingredients if you have a little more time to spare. Try adding frozen peas to the boiling pasta the last minute. Chopped carrots would add so much more color and all you have to do is add to boiling water right away when you add pasta. Make this in a oven safe skillet, then stir in a little cheese and top with bread crumbs and more cheese, bake until cheese is melted. There are just so many options with this recipes, so add some of your own ingredients. I will make this again with additions, but I know I'll also use it just as written, for many times to come. Thanks for posting this recipe, a big hit with the kids.
