Tuna Noodle Casserole (with a twist)




  • 3/4 bag of Rotini pasta, tri-color
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (we use a lowfat, low sodium version)
  • 1 can albacore tuna, drained
  • 1 can tuna in water, drained
  • 1/2 c sliced green olives
  • 1 c shredded Pepper Jack cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook pasta according to package until al dente. Drain. While pasta is cooking, combine soup, tuna and olives in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Add drained pasta to bowl and combine. Sprinkle shredded cheese over mixture. Cook in over for 20 minutes.



Alternative: You can also use egg noodles vs rotini. This recipe can also be put into a small dish and microwaved for 5 minutes.
