Tuna casserole / melt
I've never had a tuna pasta casserole or a tuna melt.
For the pasta casserole I was thinking of cooking fusili, then mixing in cooked onions and garlic, some cream of mushroom soup, the tuna, then topping with cheese and breadcrumbs. Does that sound about right for tuna pasta casserole? Is a tuna melt just tuna mayo topped with cheese? |

Try using crunched up crisps instead of breadcrumbs. It's lovely.

I always use penne rigate.
Not keen on fusili and the sauce gets inside the penne and all in the little ridges on the outside. Yum. I use condensed soup straight from the can. I know it's not good for you, but once in a while doesn't hurt. Lots of fresh ground black pepper too. I might make this tomorrow

I actually prefer just tuna and vinegar instead of tuna mayo on sandwiches.
If it's just that with cheese and melted under the grill then that'll do me. |

I'm not answering on the grounds that making my own white sauce will get me machine gunned

I don't eat it myself, but friends who do make it with slivered almonds in the mix.
