Tuna Pasta

There are not very many vegetables that my boyfriend, Stephen, will eat. There's onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, carrots, corn... yeah, that's all. So I have a tendency to cook these vegetables as much as I can for him. Well, this weekend, as I was finishing making dinner, he came in the kitchen and said, "Mushrooms? Again? I'm so tired of mushrooms!!!" Maybe I need to start grinding up vegetables and hiding them in a cheese sauce.
