Tuna Noodle Casserole with a Few Changes

" Monday night I made my normal Tuna Noodle Casserole, but I did make a few changes.  First, instead of using egg noodles I used  organic torchiette noodles.  They were thicker and added a more hearty texture.  Also, I used organic cream of mushroom soup which was thinner, but had more pieces of mushrooms in it.  Because it wasn't as thick I only had to really add a 1/4 cup of milk. Lastly, instead of potato chips I used crumbled  Ritz whole wheat crackers as the topping.  It wasn't as crunchy as the chips, but was healthier and did add flavor." 

" Below is the recipe for those of you who have not seen my previous posts on Tuna Noodle Casserole."
