Tuna Noodle Casserole

Elizabeth and Joshua Clark would never eat tuna until they tried Aunt Jeanette’s. This is also one of Jim Grady’s favorite meals. A peanut butter sandwich is very good with this dish. Dunkerton High School always had peanut butter sandwiches with their tuna noodle.

1 pkg. noodles
1 can tuna, drained
1 lb. Velveeta cheese
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can peas, optional
Potato chips

Cook noodles until done. Add tuna, soup and peas. Cut cheese into chunks and put in mixture. Put potato chips on top. Bake at 350º for about an hour, or until cheese is melted. This is a good way to use up old potato chips.

Carbonara

This authentic Italian meal came from my Italian friend, Raffa. I still can’t make it like she does, but if you’re a bacon fan, you’ll love this dish.

Carbonara Recipe

1/2 to 1 lb. bacon
1 pkg. fettuccine noodles
5 eggs
3/4 C. fresh Parmesan cheese
3 T. milk
1/2 to 1tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Boil water to cook noodles according to package. Cut bacon into 1″ to 2″ pieces and cook in skillet until not quite crispy. In separate bowl, beat eggs and then add milk, salt, pepper and half of Parmesan cheese. Set aside.

When noodles are done cooking, drain and return to large saucepan. Turn on low heat and pour egg mixture over noodles. Cook over low heat until eggs start to set, stirring continuously to coat noodles with egg mixture.

Add bacon (and grease, if you’re brave) to noodles and stir.

Add rest of Parmesan cheese before serving.
