Kittencal’s Tuna-Spaghetti Casserole, This is a recipe I developed years ago; it also works well using cooked chicken or turkey Prep time includes boiling the spaghetti, adjust all ingredient amounts to taste, the cayenne may be omitted if desired and two cans of sliced drained mushrooms may be substituted for fresh :), Love the garlic in this, and the homemade cream sauce with the egg yolks The cayenne pepper gives it a very mild but nice little kick I cooked the green peppers with the mushrooms onion and garlic so they would soften up Really unique and flavorful tuna casserole I always trust Kittencal’s recipes!, Kittencal, what is it with you?! Every single one of your recipes is out of sight!! This is no exception a just about perfect tuna noodle casserole using no canned and processed cream of whatever soup Just tell me when you open up your restaurant, I’ll be banging down the door
