How to Make Fine Tuned Tuna Casserole

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook 1 pound of pasta (elbow macaroni recommended) until very al dente according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
While pasta cooks, sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic in 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil until softened. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
In a large greased casserole dish, combine the sautéed vegetables, two 5-ounce cans of albacore tuna (drained), 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 cup milk, and 1 cup cream of mushroom soup. Mix well.
Stir in the cooked pasta until evenly distributed.
Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
Serve immediately. Offer a small bowl of additional soy sauce on the side for diners to customize their servings.
