Tuna Baked Pasta
Description
The recipe won't take much time. If you don't like tuna, substitute it with pork, beef, or chicken mince, or you can make a vegetable casserole instead. Use canned tuna in oil; if you have fresh tuna or tuna in water, mix it with a small amount of oil and let it sit for a while to absorb. Serve hot.
