Default Tuna Casserole

That's what we're having for dinner, but a modified version due to our food
allergies.

When I was a kid, my mom used curly noodles, cream of mushroom soup, canned
peas and topped it with either crushed Saltines or Wavy potato chips.

I made it the same way sometimes, adding cheese and usually using frozen
peas, or sometimes using a white sauce instead of the cream of mushroom
soup. Always used the chips instead of Saltines and often varied the type
of noodle. I believe I made it once using only chips and no noodles.
Didn't care for that.

Tonight's casserole uses Quinoa elbows and the sauce is made of fresh
mushrooms, celery, parsley and onion finely minced, cooked down and
thickened with a bit of sweet rice flour and seasoned with Herbamare and
freshly ground black pepper. Used Albacore from a pouch and frozen peas.
Didn't bake it with the chips on top because there will be leftovers and I
hate soggy chips. Instead I just threw some whole chips on each serving for
garnish. So far this is the best version I've come up with that mimics what
I had as a child.

How do you make your tuna casserole? Assuming you make it, that is...
