- Comments: Both easy and inexpensive, tuna-noodle casserole stretched proteins and carbohydrates to the limits and fed at least a generation of American kids very well. Canned tuna will never go away, but fresh tuna has joined it as a culinary staple, and it stars in this deconstructed version of the classic. All the elements which make tuna casserole so appealing and comforting are here, just slightly rearranged. And there"s no need to serve this on a cafeteria tray: It"s good sufficient for your best china.
