Cheesy Tuna Noodle Casserole image

This was a favorite in my home growing up and now it's a favorite of my family as well. I double the recipe these days for my husband and three children. For a change of pace I add canned chopped green chilies and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne, use pasta shells or spirals, or top the casserole with sliced American or cheddar cheese instead of breadcrumbs.

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Tuna

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta. Medium shells or jumbo shells are the best choice for this casserole, as they can hold a lot of filling and won't get too soggy.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold its shape in the casserole.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta and filling, but not so thick that it's difficult to stir. If the sauce is too thin, it will make the casserole watery.
  • Don't overfill the shells. When filling the shells, be careful not to overfill them, as this will make them difficult to close. Leave a little bit of space at the top of each shell so that the cheese can melt and bubble.
  • Bake the casserole until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes. If the cheese is not melted and bubbly, the casserole is not done baking.

Conclusion:

Seashell casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. With a few simple tips, you can make a seashell casserole that is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
