Number Of Ingredients 15

8 ounces penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, crushed
salt, to taste
ground black pepper, to taste
¼ cup sherry

This casserole was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole turned out watery. I think I might have added too much milk.

The casserole was too dry. I think I should have added more milk or cream.

This casserole was easy to make and tasted delicious. I used canned tuna, but I think fresh tuna would be even better.
