Do you have a busy weeknight? So making dinner seems like another task. Today, I will be sharing a recipe that will be perfect for your dinner on a busy night. An easy recipe will not only be a great help but it will also become our comfort food. The recipe I am talking about is Tuna Alfredo Casserole.
Tuna Alfredo Casserole is a pasta made in a casserole with tuna and some vegetables. You can even use frozen vegetables in the recipe. Using frozen vegetables will be a great time saver, as you do not have to chop several vegetables.
Make sure that you slightly undercook the pasta before adding up other ingredients. This should be done because the pasta will be cooked again in the casserole. And it may get mushy when you add a perfectly cooked pasta in the casserole.
Now take a look at the recipe and get going.
