Tuna-Filled Shells image

Hot tuna's a hit when you mix it with sizable pasta shells and a cheesy sauce. Dill also complements the fish nicely in this cream comfort food. It's a great change of pace from the traditional tuna casserole. -Connie Staal, Greenbrier, Arkansas

This recipe was a disaster. The shells were overcooked and the filling was dry. I would not recommend this recipe.
