My boys love this dish so I always make a double batch for leftovers. It is so creamy and flavorful and I sneak in a lot of veggies and they eat it up! It is one of the few dishes I actually use a canned soup. It is one of the first dishes I made when I was just learning and I haven't changed the recipe that much. Enjoy, Thanks...

Tips:

  • Use a large pot: When making tuna noodle wiggle, use a large pot to ensure there is enough space for the noodles and other ingredients to cook properly. A large pot will help prevent the noodles from sticking together and overcooking.
  • Cook the noodles according to the package directions: Different types of noodles may have different cooking times, so be sure to follow the instructions on the package to ensure that they are cooked properly.
  • Drain and rinse the noodles thoroughly: Once the noodles are cooked, drain them in a colander and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch.
  • Use a flavorful broth: To make a tasty tuna noodle wiggle, use a flavorful broth as the cooking liquid. Vegetable broth, chicken broth, or beef broth will all work well. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic, onion, celery, or carrots, to the broth for extra flavor.
  • Add the tuna at the end: Tuna is a delicate fish, so it is best to add it to the wiggle at the end of the cooking process to prevent it from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Serve immediately: Tuna noodle wiggle is best served immediately after it is made. The noodles will start to absorb the broth and become mushy if they are left to sit for too long.

Tuna noodle wiggle is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
