Okay, casseroles aren't made in a skillet, but this is a really easy substitute for tuna casserole. Everything is done on top of the stove, and it is great for a weeknight after working hard! Definitely not gourmet fare, so if that is what you are looking for, please don't try and review this recipe. This is just a simple, everyday quick and easy dinner. Ingredients:
4 ounces fettuccine pasta, uncooked |
1/2 cup celery, sliced |
1/3 cup onion, chopped |

1 (6 1/8 ounce) can solid white tuna, drained and flaked |
