What more could you want of a Friday night than tuna casserole? I probably would not have made this if I had been feeding any one but myself but I was feeling nostalgic for a home cook classic.
When it came to actually make the casserole I was not actually sure what to do so I took a few pointers from a random recipe online. Turns out you just cook some pasta, mix through a plain white sauce, tinned tuna, peas, top with cheese and breadcrumbs (though the recipe I found called for crushed weetbix) and oven bake.
I was a bit dubious about the flavours so I went off piste and added some black olive pieces and chopped parsley. I was tired and could not work out if I should put the breadcrumbs on first and then the cheese or the other way around. After a long period of mental effort I decided incorrectly to put the breadcrumbs on top, I do not know why I did that.
Anyway, no harm done. The olives were a good addition to what would otherwise have been a pretty bland meal. Some mustard in the white sauce would have been a good addition.
