A Quick and Easy Tuna Casserole

When I run out of idea of what to make for dinner, I always do what is quick and easy. And on top of my easy and quick list is Tuna Casserole. I always stock any kind of Pasta, Albacore Tuna and Cream of Mushroom in my pantry, so it is very convenient to prepare this dish. In this dish, any pasta you may have in your pantry is just fine. I usually use Penne but this time since I want to make room in my freezer, I used the frozen Tortellini with cheese and spinach.
