Directions:

Lightly grease a 13-by-9-inch casserole or two smaller ones.

Prepare noodles according to package directions and drain. Set aside.

Cook celery and onions in margarine in a small skillet over medium heat until soft, 8 to 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the noodles, celery and onion mixture, tuna, peas, milk, sour cream, soup, cheese, salt and pepper to taste, parsley, dill and Old Bay seasoning. Toss well.

Spoon the noodle mixture into the casserole. Sprinkle the crumbled crackers evenly over the top, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons melted margarine (this assists browning). Sprinkle lightly with paprika.

Bake casserole in 350-degree oven until the top is golden brown and it is evenly hot throughout, 30 minutes.
