cheesy blackened salmon or tuna pasta (1-pot)

This simple, quick 1-pot pasta is so nostalgic for me, who grew up eating Tuna Helper. Use canned tuna or salmon (a lower-mercury fish) and whatever cheese you have on hand, plus frozen peas. Packed with protein from the fish and cheese! Plus a little extra protein and fiber from the peas. We love this topped with sugo salt for added pops of flavor!
