Cheesy Tuna Casserole

It's one of those dishes that everyone seems to have a different version for. I came up with my own when the kids were little and I was running late for dinner. I didn't have all the ingredients on hand that the recipe called for, so I improvised.

CHEESY TUNA CASSEROLE
 
 
2 cans of tuna, drained 1 green onion, sliced 
8 oz. pasta (I used Cellentani, but feel free to use your favorite) 
8 oz. heavy cream 
1 envelope brown gravy 
1 to 2 cups of shredded cheese 
dried parsley 
 
 
Cook the pasta according to package directions, drain. In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, green onion, cream, gravy and half of the cheese. Mix well and then add the pasta to the mixture and stir everything together. Pour into a baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese, bake in a 375 degree oven until bubbly and the cheese is melted.
