A twist on Macaroni Pie

We know that holidays are all about tradition and rituals (as they should be), but they are also a time when we consider shaking things up a little from the routine. We may add little twists here and there, put something different on the table or perhaps add one of those everyday dishes to the very special holiday table. I believe that this Tuna-Pasta bake fits the bill of all three. Therefore, this year, instead of the usual Macaroni Pie, how about making a dish of baked Tuna-Pasta?

There is much to be excited about with this bake and it will definitely satisfy those among you who will perhaps groan and ask where the Macaroni Pie is. It is a dish of pasta, tuna, and vegetables all baked in a rich creamy sauce topped with cheese. Really, what’s not to like? And if you are having Pescatarian guests (vegetarians who eat dairy and seafood), this will be perfect for them.
