One of my favorite things to cook with is pasta! It is so versatile and can be used to make many delicious creations in my kitchen. I recently took the Tresomega Nutrition Blogger Challenge where I created a recipe using Gluten Free Quinoa Fusilli Pasta to make my Creamy, Crunchy & Cheesy Tuna Noodle Casserole.
When it comes to seafood and vegetables my family can be picky! What they do LOVE is when I make tuna noodle casserole. I like that I can add the tuna into a meal but that I can also add PEAS! This is the only meal that I can make where they will eat peas without complaints!
I normally use egg noodles but was excited to try the Gluten Free Quinoa Fusilli Pasta to put a twist on my tuna noodle casserole. What I like about using this pasta is that it is made with a unique blend of Organic Royal Bolivian Quinoa which is a nutrient packed superfood. This pasta is a great source of fiber, protein and contains no preservatives, artificial flavors or colors. You can purchase their products at: Tresomega.com. Sams.com, Amazon.com and Walmart.com.
I am one that enjoys cooking but I also love comfort food that is easy to make. I love creamy, crunchy and creamy so I have put those all together in one delicious tuna noodle casserole that my whole family enjoys. Not only did my family not even notice that I used a different noodle, they ate the whole casserole. There were NO leftovers this time which makes this mom smile!
