Melt the butter or margarine in large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, for approximately 4 minutes or until tender. Add the soup, cheese, yogurt, onions, pepper, celery seeds and red pepper flakes and mix well. Fold in the cooked macaroni, tuna and vegetables.

I like the basic idea of adding more vegetables to a tuna casserole, but I don't think I care for so many modified ingredients as in this recipe.
