Ingredients
  

  • 1 16 oz box of penne or rotini pasta
  • 2 1/2 cups pasta sauce (jarred or homemade)
  • 2 5 oz cans tuna (drained)
  • Salt (for seasoning)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or whatever shredded cheese you want to try)
  • Toppings: parmesan cheese and freshly chopped basil or parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Boil the pasta only to al dente (around 11 minutes).
  • After draining the pasta, add it to a very large bowl. Add in the pasta sauce, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese, and the drained tuna.
    Stir the mixture very well. Taste and add a little more salt if needed.
  • Grease a 2-3 quart casserole dish. Add the pasta mixture, and even out the top. Sprinkle with the remaining cup of cheese and parmesan, if desired.
    Bake uncovered for 24-28 minutes until cheese is melted and lightly browned, and the pasta is heated throughout
    (If you need to - bake the pasta for a couple more minutes)
  • Sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
