Tomatoes and Green Onions with Tuna

We eat a lot of pasta in our house, because it is quick and the kids like it. The standard tuna with noodle casserole is too heavy for me, but this one is less creamy and has more vegetables. The other thing I like about this recipe is that I almost always have the ingredients on hand, so it is great for days when things don’t go as planned and I have to make a quick dinner.  The entire meal can be made in about 20 minutes, so it is pretty fast.
