New Twist on an Old Favorite: TUNA CASSEROLE

We think our little one may have an allergy to dairy, so I've been experimenting with SOY and RICE products.
I made this recipe the other night & got rave reviews from Tyler and Lilly's 2 helping were testimony enough! ;)


TUNA CASSEROLE (sans dairy!) -- Serves 6

2 cups dry whole wheat shell pasta, cooked and drained and HOT!
1 (10-3/4 oz.) can condensed Cream of Celery Soup *I use Campbell's 98% Fat Free; you may also us cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
1 cup Rice Drink *I used Trader Joe's ORIGINAL Organic, Unsweetened Rice Drink
1 cup Soy-Sation Shredded 3 Cheese Blend (found at Trader Joe's)
1 (12 oz.) can Solid White Albacore TUNA, well-drained and flaked
Geasoning OR Salt & Pepper, to taste
1 (8-1/2 oz.) can Sweet Peas, drained

Preheat toaster oven (or full-sized oven) to 350 degrees F while pasta is cooking.
Bring a large well-salted saucepan of water to a boil. Add the dried pasta and stir one minute. Allow to cook until tender, but not mushy. Drain pasta well and add back to pot.
Stir in condensed soup, rice drink, shredded cheese, tuna and seasoning. Mix thoroughly then gently fold in the peas.
Pour ingredients into a 1 1/2 Quart that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until hot and bubbly; remove from oven. Let stand 5 minutes, then serve promptly. ENJOY!
