I think this came from Woman's Day. I have made it several times and I really like this on a spring or summer day. I absolutely ADORE pasta, being Italian and all, but my husband doesn't want to eat it every day like I do. So I have to find creative ways to work it in.

Don't let the long list of ingredients deter you, they are probably all in your pantry and fridge. This is so easy.

TUNA STUFFED PASTA SHELLS

18 jumbo pasta shells

1 can (6oz) light tuna

1 cup fresh bread crumbs

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1 large egg

1/4 cup minced fresh parsley (I've used dried at half the amount)

1 tsp lemon juice

1 can (10 3/4oz) condensed cream of celery soup

1/2 cup milk

2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Paprika (to sprinkle on top - optional)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a baking dish with nonstick spray. Boil pasta shells as package directs, until just firm-tender.

Meanwhile, mix tuna, bread crumbs, onion, egg, lemon juice, and half the parsley, to blend.

Drain shells, rinse gently to cool, drain again. Fill each shell with tuna mixture (about 1 Tbsp). Place in prepared baking dish.

Whisk soup and milk in a small saucepan until hot. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining parsley. Pour over the stuffed shells. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and Paprika.

Bake 25 minutes @ 350 degrees, until hot and bubbly. Enjoy!
