Angel Hair Al Fresco

What a wonderful light meal this is! It is a quick dish and can easily be paired up with some veggies and bread! I made cornbread with this particular meal.

What I used:
2 boxes Pasta Roni Angel Hair Pasta with herbs
1 Can tuna
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
1 Tbsp. dried basil

Make your Pasta Roni according to directions. Once you are ready to add your pasta, add your tuna, tomatoes and basil as well. Return to a boil; reduce heat to med. Boil, uncovered, stirring frequently, 6-8 minutes. Sauce will be thin, but will thicken upon standing. Let it stand about 3 min. or until the sauce is thick enough for your liking.

Tuna Casserole

Tuna Casserole is a great stand by or a quick meal if you had nothing planned. We used to have this on Wednesday nights for a while when I was growing up. Wednesdays were always sort of in a rush so this was pretty quick for my mom. There are not many ingredients and it can be made up in about 20 minutes!

What I used:

1 can tuna (in water)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
about 1 cup of milk (enough to make it a little soupy when you stir it together)
About 2-3 cups pasta (depending on your family size...I never measure....)
Enough water to boil pasta (I never measure.....)
Grated cheese of your choice
Parsley

Get your water to a raging boil then add pasta of your choice, I used elbow noodles. Boil until they are tender. In the meantime get your tuna, cream of mushroom soup and milk in a bowl and mix well together until a tad soupy. Once your pasta is tender drain it and add to the soup mix. Top with cheese, pop it in the microwave for about 5 minutes. Top with parsley and batabing, you have a meal!
