Day 63 of our captivity: leftover casserole

Tuna noodle casserole was on the menu tonight. For any normal person, this is straightforward: dump tuna, noodles, and cream of mushroom soup in a dish and bake. However, as you well know, we are not normal. The complicating factors this time (which are normal for us) were:

1. no canned soup in the house

2. leftovers I wanted to use up

You see where this is going...

I ended up making an enriched white sauce to use up the old separated container of cream that emerged from the back of the fridge, and then mixing in a glop of leftover pesto. After that, I added two cans of tuna, leftover cabbage+spinach, and a jar of marinated artichoke hearts. For the starch, rather than cooking pasta I threw in leftover millet that had been cooked in duck stock with onion/carrot/celery, and the topped the whole thing with breadcrumbs made out of a stale heel of sourdough.

Way better than “normal” casserole. Even the teenager concurred :)
