Something Out of Nothing

Cut the potato horizontally into thin slices (about the thickness of scalloped potatoes). Shred cheese. Boil 1/2 lb of macaroni in a large pot until tender. Sauté some gleaned zucchini and other squash in 1 Tbs of butter in a skillet on low heat for 7-8 minutes, or until golden brown.

Cover the bottom of the pan with a layer of sliced potato. This will act as the base of the casserole. Pour 1/4 cup of tomato sauce (enough to sweetly saturate the potatoes while cooking) on top.

Once the macaroni is done boiling, strain water and mix in 1 Tbs of butter until it melts. Pour macaroni on top of the potatoes and tomato sauce inside the pan. The next layer is the sautéed zucchini and squash. Then apply the second layer of potato, which should cover the zucchini and other squash. Pour 1/4 cup of low-fat milk on top. Then spread a layer of tuna fish on top of the potatoes — thickness varies depending on your preference, but not too thick because it will get soggy. Sprinkle shredded cheese, brown sugar and sage on top as a final layer. Cook for 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees F. Let cool for 5 minutes.

It really was delicious and I ate all my leftovers today. Bon appetit!
