Variations Many recipes for tuna casserole made their way into American kitchens via food packages and magazines. They all are basically the same: a white sauce of flour and milk binds together pasta, tuna and other ingredients for a rich and hearty casserole with a crunchy topping. Many recipes use egg noodles instead of the macaroni in this recipe. Some go minimalist with just tuna, the sauce and the topping. Some use cream cheese rather than cheddar and lose the mushroom soup. Many recipes call for peas, but some substitute asparagus. For an Italian riff, use Alfredo sauce rather than white sauce or add thyme, tomatoes and black olives. Add roasted red peppers and white sauce spiked with Dijon mustard or olives and capers for an updated version with penne pasta instead of macaroni or noodles.
