Stuffed Tuna shells (Step by Step)

OK yes I know I havent posted in FOREVER. I am posting this for a friend of mine Nina. I will post an update (there is a lot) later tonight after kids get to bed.


STUFFED TUNA SHELLS


Ingredients

1 box LARGE shells
2 jars alfredo sauce
3-4 cans Tuna drained (if you dont like Tuna I am sure you could used cooked shredded chicken or even canned chicken)
2 celery stalks
1 small yellow onion
Salt and pepper
Shredded cheese 




Preheat your oven to 450 and spay a 9x11 dish with cooking spray.








Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add your shells (stir every so often so they dont stick to the bottom)



While your pasta shells are cooking chop your celery and onion (i used red onion because its what I had normally I use yellow) and put them in a medium bowl



Add Tuna



Add one jar of Alfredo sauce, salt and pepper and stir.


When your noodles are cooked pour them into a colander and rinse with cold water.







Take a spoon full of your tuna (or chicken) mixture and add it to the inside of a shell. Place in your baking dish,


Continue until your dish is full and you have no more mixture (I usually have extra shells. I have yet to get it down to exactly how many to cook and I do extra in case some tear while cooking).


Take your second jar of Alfredo and pour over the shells and spread with a spoon until there completely covered.





Top with shredded cheese.

Place in your preheated oven (I have au gratin potatoes already in there.)




Bake for 20 minutes.




Remove from oven and enjoy. There that easy.
