Dump the shells into a baggie, taking out about half of the shells to fit in the pot.

Open the can of tuna and drain the oil into a bag to avoid putting it in the gray water system.

Use the whole can of tuna for extra protein.

Open the small can of sweet peas and drain the water, optionally rinsing them if desired.

Measure 3 and 1/4 cups of water (16 oz) for cooking the shells according to the box instructions.

Cook the shells in boiling water until done, then drain them using the pot's built-in strainer.

Mix the cooked shells with the cheese packet, drained peas, and tuna.

Crumble a handful of regular potato chips on top before serving.
