My boys love this dish so I always make a double batch for leftovers. It is so creamy and flavorful and I sneak in a lot of veggies and they eat it up! It is one of the few dishes I actually use a canned soup. It is one of the first dishes I made when I was just learning and I haven't changed the recipe that much. Enjoy, Thanks Monica

How To Make tuna noodle wiggle

  • Step 1
    Put a large pot of water on to boil. While the water is boiling, get a large saute pan and put in some olive oil and butter and melt. Add the diced onions, cook til translucent. add the garlic. When the water boils add a generous amount of salt and cook the pasta until it is a little under al (it will cook more in the oven.
  • Step 2
    Add the mushrooms and cook a few minutes. Add the sherry and a bit more butter, salt and pepper and let it cook, Do not let the sherry evaporate all the way you want a bit of liquid, you can always add a bit more if needed. Add the broccoli, stir and take off the heat and let cool a bit.
  • Step 3
    In a deep casserole dish, or a large shallow one add the soup, milk, tuna and it's water, salt, pepper, cheese, and the veggies and the drained pasta, combine all the ingredients.
  • Step 4
    Top with the ritz crumbs and more cheese. (you can never have too much cheese) I put small pieces of butter around the top. Place in a 400 degree oven until it is golden on the top and bubbly on the sides.
  • Step 5
    It is super hot so let it sit a few minutes and dig in!
