Necessity is the mother of invention! I threw this one together at the last minute when I had a craving for tuna noodle casserole and didn't have any egg noodles on hand. It is so very yummy!

Ingredients

2 (6 ounce) cans canned tuna, drained (solid white albacore is best)
1 (9 ounce) bag barilla tortellini (there are several varieties. For this recipe, I used the portabello mushroom, but I've tried them al)
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup (use 2 cans if using solid white albacore tuna)
1 cup frozen green pea
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, separated
1/2 cup crushed potato chips, any variety (you can substitute bread crumbs, chow mein noodles or cracker crumbs)
1 (4 ounce) can mushrooms, drained

Steps:

Cook the tortellini in boiling water for about 11 minutes, or according to package directions.
Turn out into colander and let drain.
While the tortellini is draining, combine the tuna, soup, mushrooms and 1 cup of the cheese in the tortellini pot.
Add the drained tortellini and the frozen peas; mix lightly to coat.
Spoon mixture into an 8X8 square baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Sprinkle crushed chips over casserole.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes.
Serve with crusty dinner rolls and a green salad for a complete meal!
