This Creamy Tuna Pasta dish is my version of a Homemade Tuna Helper Meal, ready in about 30 minutes. It's Quick, Simple & Delicious.The Flavor is just wonderful too and is derived from the Seafood Mayo recipe. Add shredded Cheddar or Three Cheese Blend and cover to rest for 5 minutes for a Cheesy Tuna Helper.
