Ramen Noodle Tuna Casserole

If you like a softer, more cooked noodle texture, then you can pre-cook the ramen noodles before adding them to the cream sauce. We prefer just using 1 of the seasoning packets. We tried it with the 2 packets but it was rather salty for us. But if you prefer salty noodles, then use the 2 packages of seasoning.
