Cheesy Tuna Noodle Casserole

This classic comfort food brings together tender gluten-free pasta, flaky tuna, and sweet peas in a rich mushroom sauce. A generous layer of sharp cheddar cheese melts through the casserole, while crushed potato chips add a satisfying crunch to every bite. It is a perfect weeknight dinner that comes together quickly and bakes until hot and bubbly.
