Reviews
“This was an easy recipe & ready for the oven in no time at all.I added one more cup of noodles to the mixture and an extra can of tuna.Very good, thank you.”
“Really excellent. Fast and tasty. Next time I think I will add all the noodles to the mix, cutting them up first for easier serving.”
“I used salmon instead of tuna, because that’s what I have in the house. I added extra cashews and noodles and I served it over hot jasmine rice. It came out pretty good. My husband liked it enough to ask me to make it again!”
