MODERN TUNA CASSEROLE
I loved tuna casserole as a kid and found myself craving it as an adult. However, the massive amounts of fat and salt in the traditional recipe were a turnoff healthwise, and it just didn't taste as good as I remembered. I reconfigured the recipe to include more vegetables and the result was delicious. -Rebecca Blanton, St. Helena, California

GROWN-UP TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE
This was a recipe I came up with just from opening my pantry, and grabbing as many cans as I possibly could. When I realized how healthy it would be with the absence of a "sauce" I felt pretty proud of making a healthy yet extremely hearty meal for my fiance and I. ENJOY!

Steps:
- Boil water as directed by whatever pasta you choose for 2 1/2 cups (as cooking times vary based on the type of pasta). Add in pasta when water is at a rolling boil.
- In a large sauce pan combine the tuna, black beans, sweet peas, tomatoes, black pepper and salt. Stir well, and let heat through.
- When the pasta is al dente, remove from heat and drain. At this time, remove the tuna combination from the heat as well.
- When pasta is completely free of excess water, return to the large pot, and mix in the tuna combination. At this time, add the cheese and hot sauce (amount varying to how spicy you like), stir well. Serve, and top with any fresh herb-especially delicious with fresh dill.
