Once the autumn weather sets in, I’m ready to crank up the oven and cook up cozy comforting meals. That’s why I’m a big fan of casseroles. While they bake the aroma fills the house and reminds me of the home-cooked dishes my grandmother used to make. That’s what inspired this Creamy Noodle Bake recipe. It’s an easy-prep supper that’s perfect for warming up on chilly days.

We start with fettuccine, but you can sub in almost any pasta you have on hand — penne, rotini or fusilli would also work well. Convenient canned soup and a trio of veggies come together as the base for the tuna and pasta. Then sharp cheddar cheese makes it ooey-gooey good. Seasoned breadcrumbs mixed with a bit of olive oil create the crunchy coating. Sprinkle more cheese on top because, let’s face it, who wouldn’t love even more melty deliciousness. Make a batch then let us know what you think.
