Steps:
- Cook pasta as directed. Preheat oven to 400°F.
- While waiting for the water to boil, add mushrooms, onion, celery and garlic to a nonstick pan sprayed with olive oil. Saute over medium heat until just tender. The moisture from the veggies will keep them from sticking.
- While cooking the pasta, stir tuna, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper into the pan. Remove from heat and add cheddar cheese.
- When pasta is al dente, stir into pan. Pour into a casserole dish sprayed with olive oil. Cover with bread crumbs.
- Cook for 15 minutes. The higher heat will ensure that you have some crunch to the bread crumbs.

NIF'S NOTHING FANCY TUNA CASSEROLE
Another simple yet satisfying home meal that you can make in no time. A huge hit with kids, big and small. Also very easy on the bank account! If you don't have 2 cans of tuna, just use one. Quarter your canned whole mushrooms if that's what you have. Use a shaped pasta like macaroni, rotini, penne, something to hold the sauce. Add any veggies, seasonings, etc. that you think your family might like. Also freezes very well. Enjoy!

BEST TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE
This tuna noodle casserole is the best with a classic creamy taste from my childhood. The sauce is rich and creamy but not overwhelmingly heavy. The crunch from the topping and fresh bite from the parsley create the perfect balance. Let's not forget that this is a great budget-friendly meal to feed a crowd!
