Seafood Wednesday: My Super Easy Tuna Casserole



Life has been getting a little busier this week and even though I was really tempted to skip my Seafood Wednesday, I decided I should make it happen anyways!  (Besides my daughter loves tuna so that was added motivation :) )  Here it is: 

My Super Easy Tuna Casserole Recipe

Ingredients: 

I used Barilla's Tri-Color Rotini, Alfredo Sauce, a can of tuna, and French Fried Onions. 

Steps

  1. 1. Cook pasta
    (I used Tri-Color because it would be most fun for my daughter to eat. Funny thing is, she started picking the green ones out....has she already associated the color green with vegetables ??? ) 
  2. Pre-heat the oven to 350. 
  3. I added about a cup of Alfredo Sauce.
  4. Drain the tuna and add to the mixture.
  5. Mix well.
  6. Top it with the French Fried Onions
  7. Bake it for about 10-12 min.
    (just long enough to golden the French Fried Onions)
  8. Time to eat!

My Favorite Profiteroles (or Cream Puffs)

Profiteroles 



This would have to be one of the best dishes my Hubby has made. The pictures are totally making me hungry for them and cannot wait until next week so he can make them again. *hint, hint* 

The recipe was featured by Giada De Laurentiis in the Everyday Italian Show. This dish is called Goat Cheese and Sun Dried Tomato Profiteroles with Herb Oil  which also indicates the names of the ingredients used to make the recipe.  

This was my first time trying goat cheese. The taste is a tad bit strong, but when combined with the tomato and herb oil, it turned out soo good!!! 



Plain Profiteroles - Cream Puffs == very tasty bread!!!

Mmmmmm!!!



My Hubby can be so creative in the kitchen that he made a sweet version of the profiteroles. 
He filled them with Chocolate mousse and made a chocolate sauce to put over it.   



perfect! 


Totally irresistible!!!!
