Serves:: 1-2

ingredients

2 ounces whole wheat spaghetti
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Fat Free (I'm sure any kind of butter will do!)
¹⁄₈ teaspoon garlic salt
¹⁄₈ teaspoon onion powder
¹⁄₄ teaspoon italian seasoning
1 teaspoon parmesan cheese
¹⁄₁₆ teaspoon black pepper
1 (6 ounce) can tuna in water, drained
¹⁄₄ cup mozzarella cheese (I use reduced fat, you can use more cheese if you like)
2 -3 tablespoons frozen peas (I use about 2 tbsp)

directions

Cook spaghetti until tender but firm (about 3-5 minutes); drain.
Mix the next six ingredients into the pasta; mix well until pasta is coated.
Put the pasta into a small casserole dish. Top with tuna, then cheese. Sprinkle with peas.
I choose to bake this at 350 for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted & casserole is heated through. But I'm sure you could omit the baking step if desired. I usually eat half of this for a lunch with some salad & I'm full!

Made this tonight - made a very nice simple meal. I must admit that I combined all ingredients (not cheese) and put in oven with cheese on top. Added a dash of lemon juice. If anything - its a little dry - but this can be easily rectified.<br/>It an honest, easy, simple meal using things just from the cupboard. thanks for posting.

Since I was making this recipe for the family I used 1 lb. of elbow noodles in place of the spaghetti. I also chose to cut up fresh sugar snap pea pobs into bite size pieces instead of using frozen peas. I did not to bake this as I didn't want it to resemble tuna casserole. The meal was simple to prepare and turned out to be a real kid pleaser. I will make this often. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Reviewed for Spring PAC 2011
