  • 1 (16 ounce) package medium seashell pasta
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

  • 1 (5 ounce) can tuna, drained

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the water to prevent sticking.

  3. Preheat your oven to 350F (175C).
  4. In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the cream of mushroom soup, mixed vegetables, canned tuna, and 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  5. Once the mixture is heated through, gently fold in the cooked pasta. Stir thoroughly to combine.
  6. Transfer the pasta and soup mixture into an 11x7 inch baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese on top of the mixture.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15 to 20 minutes.

WARNING: WATCH OUT FOR THE ABUNDANCE OF NOODLES!!! You definitely don't need that many! Overall, this recipe was fantastic! I made some adjustments by including chunks of Velveeta, an additional can of cream of mushroom soup, and an extra can of tuna. I also seasoned it with some spices and garlic. Opted for Rigatoni noodles and garnished it with parmesan and shredded cheddar. Oh, and I used 12 ounces of noodles, which might have been a tad excessive (even with the extra soup). Next time, I'll probably stick to 10 ounces.

This dish turned out to be amazing! Following recommendations from other reviewers, I also used 2 cans of tuna. Instead of using 2 cans of soup, I opted for 1 can and added a bit of milk and butter. To finish it off, I topped it with breadcrumbs before baking for 20 minutes and broiling it for a crunchy top. The result was absolutely delicious!

It was incredibly tasty! I enhanced the soup mix by incorporating 1/2 cup of Velveeta and 1/2 cup of milk, then baked it and finished it off with a generous topping of shredded cheese.

I made a few modifications by swapping the mixed vegetables for green beans and using egg noodles instead of regular noodles. The dish was a hit with everyone who tried it. I will definitely be making it again. It was simple to prepare since most of the ingredients were already in my pantry. Next time, I may experiment with adding some spices for extra flavor.

The original recipe was a good starting point, but I decided to take it up a notch by incorporating diced onion, garlic powder, and finely diced celery. The end result was absolutely delicious!
