Can't do anything by the recipe of course, but this was a great jumping off for a fantastic dinner! Made my own alfredo and used shell pasta instead. And the addition of fresh sugar snap peas from the garden was great!

This is a wonderful grown up version of the retro tuna noodle casserole. Love the crunch of the sugar snap peas.

I loved this. The only change I made was in the bread crumbs. I was going to substitute panko for the plain bread crumbs, which I didn't have on hand. But instead, I tore up some regular bread and fried it lightly with butter, then used that as a topping. There were no leftovers.
