TUNA ITALIANO CASSEROLE
My family was not fond of tuna casseroles until I found this recipe. Not sure where it came from, but I've been making it for years. I think it's the cheese!

Steps:
- Cook noodles according to package directions (I find that 12 minutes is perfect, especially when using them in a casserole where there will be additional cooking).
- While the noodles are cooking, heat butter in medium frying pan and cook onions until tender but not brown.
- (Butter gives the recipe more taste but a non-stick spray can be used in place of butter. I don't recommend margarine- it doesn't melt properly.).
- Add soup, milk and cheese; heat and stir.
- Add tuna, mushrooms, olives, parsley and lemon juice.
- Stir well and heat through.
- Stir 1/2 of the cooked noodles into the tuna mixture. Mix well. Add more or all of the noodles as desired (the more noodles, the thicker the casserole consistency).
- Pour mixture into 2 qt casserole dish.
- (If doubling the recipe, use a 9"x13" pan.).
- Sprinkle top with remaining Parmesan cheese and the paprika.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
- (Watch that noodles don't burn-- may need to cook only 20 minutes depending on your oven).
- Before removing from oven, sprinkle top with onion rings and bake an additional 5 minutes.
- Watch that the onion rings don't burn.
