Broccoli Tuna Casserole

This meal was inspired by the More with Less cookbook, but I just whipped it up. I was in a rush to get dinner to the boys (which is never a good thing!)…think LOTS of crankiness! Hubs worked late tonight and I am going out with the girls…so the boys got to eat this one for themselves…and there’s lots leftover for lunch tomorrow!

Ingredients
Extra virgin olive oil ($.10)
rice flour or wheat flour ($.10)
Rice milk or regular milk ($.50)
Cornstarch ($.05)
Salt and Pepper
Rice pasta – penne pasta (Use wheat pasta) ($1) I used 1/2 a bag of rice pasta from Trader Joes.
1/2 bag frozen broccoli ($.50)
1 can tuna ($.61)
