Crunchy Creamy Tuna Pasta Topping
My favorite part of this Stovetop Tuna Pasta Recipe is the crunchy topping. Most recipes make an au gratin from breadcrumbs and cheese, but that takes too long when you are in a hurry. Topping Life Hack- Buy some croutons, smash them up into crumbs using a rolling pin, and sprinkle them on top of the pasta. Easy and done! Other topping ideas;
- Crushed Ritz Crackers
- Smashed Potato Chips
- Caesar Salad Croutons
- Chow Mein Noodles
