Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to moderate or about 180c.
  • Firstly, cook the tagliatelli as per the packet instructions in boiling salted water. Meanwhile, quarter the mushrooms and fry off for 5 mins or so in a large pan just to brown a little. Then add the soup, refill the can with the milk and add to the pan. Mix well then add the flaked tuna and peas (there is no need to defrost the peas as the heat of the sauce will defrost them in no time at all). Heat for a few mins until the sauce is heated through. Then add 2 packs of the crisps and mix in gently so as not to break them up too much.
  • When the pasta is cooked and al dente drain and mix through the sauce. Add to a large ovenproof casserole and put the remaining 4 packs of crisps over the top so it is completely covered. place ijn the oven for 10-15 mins or until the crisps are starting to brown. Serve with a little salt and LOTS of vinegar (if you are brave enough, its better with chilli vinegar)

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality canned tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in oil.
  • Flake the tuna well before adding it to the casserole. This will help to ensure that the tuna is evenly distributed throughout the dish.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your casserole. This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good options include celery, onions, carrots, and peas.
  • Add a creamy sauce to your casserole. This will help to make the dish more rich and flavorful. You can use a simple white sauce, or you can use a more flavorful sauce, such as a cheese sauce or a cream of mushroom soup.
  • Top the casserole with a crunchy topping. This will add texture and flavor to the dish. Some good options include bread crumbs, crushed crackers, or grated cheese.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and hot. This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through.
