Tuna Seashell Surprise

Source of Recipe


Adapted from a recipe by Dave Burgess






List of Ingredients



• 12 ounces large seashell pasta
  
• 1/2 tsp salt
  
• 3/4 cup frozen petit peas
  
• 1 cup cottage cheese (lowfat is fine)
  
• 1 cup sour cream (lowfat is fine)
  
• 1 (10-3/4-ounce) can cream of celery soup
  
• Two 6-ounce cans solid white tuna in water, drained
  
• 1 tsp celery salt
  
• Salt and pepper to taste
  
• 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
  
• 1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  






Instructions



1. Bring a pot of water to a boil; add 1/2 teaspoon salt to water. When water has heated to a boil, add the seashell pasta. Cook 9 to 12 minutes, until soft. During the last 3 minutes, add the frozen peas to the pasta to cook.
   
   
2. Meanwhile, in large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, sour cream, cream of celery soup, drained tuna, celery salt, and salt and pepper. Mix together to create a sauce for the pasta.
   
   
3. When the pasta and peas are cooked, pour them into a colander to drain. Shake all excess water out of the shells before adding to the tuna mixture. Mix the two cheeses together, then sprinkle over the casserole. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 45 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
