Remember all those months ago when we rushed to the shops to bulk buy pasta and tins of tuna? I mean what the hell are we to do with 9 tins of tuna and penne to feed an army?! Time to use them up baby, Midwest-style!
Have a go at Val’s ultimate comfort dish: Tuna Noodle Casserole. It’s the perfect one-pot wonder that will give you all the warm and comfy feels you need as the weather turns a bit crisp, and the trees are changing colour. As school begins, this week and next – this recipe is a crowd-pleaser!
