tuna noodle
Fish pasta dish
Tuna noodle refers to tuna noodle casserole, a homestyle American dish combining canned tuna, egg noodles, and creamy sauce—typically made with condensed cream of mushroom soup—baked until bubbly.
Often topped with crushed potato chips or breadcrumbs.
It's comfort food with midcentury origins, economical and nostalgic: Mom's tuna noodle was a Thursday night staple.
