Ingredients
- 1/2 box shell pasta

- 3/4 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Cook one half of the box of shell pasta according to box directions. Rinse with cold water. Warm pasta and miracle whip will not be a good combination!
- Add the pasta to a medium-sized serving bowl.
- Drain the tuna and add it to the pasta.
- Drain the can of peas and add.
- Dice one medium onion and add.
- Chop and add one small block of medium cheddar cheese. (Try sharp cheese also if you are a sharp cheddar fan).
