Easy GF Tuna Casserole

Not for Sam, but this is what I was craving as I was falling asleep last night and this is the process that came to me, so of course I made it for myself for breakfast. DELICIOUS.

Cook about 1/2-3/4 package Trader Joe's rice rotini in a saucepan. (Because I was just making this for me and didn't want to dirty a large pan.) Drain pasta but reserve about 1/4-1/2 cup of the starchy water in the warm pan. On very low heat, stir in about 1 tsp. Chicken Better Than Bouillon (or your favorite chicken bouillon), 1 tbsp. ghee, and 1 small container Trader Joe's goat cream cheese until combined and melted. Stir in 1 can drained white tuna and the cooked pasta. This was so delicious. You could bring it to a potluck and I don't think anyone would know it was different. This would be great with chicken, too. I didn't want to use any coconut milk or cream because sometimes I can detect the coconut flavor in savory dishes. But this didn't need it. Next time I make it I'm going to push the envelope and try it with a whole package of pasta but the same amount of other stuff. And I might even measure more carefully and update this recipe.
