subject: Tuna Tetrazzini [print this page] Tuna Tetrazzini Tuna Tetrazzini
This is not the fabled tuna noodle casserole everybody talks about. This recipe has a tartness produced by the lemon juice, along with the great flavor boost given by the onion juice. This recipe has been "grandkids tested", and whenever they come over chances are pretty good this will be the main course. Legend has it that several Tetrazzini dishes created in the USA were named for an Italian coloratura soprano named Luisa Tetrazzini. (1871-1940). She was said to be very popular in the USA in the early 1900's. Legend or no legend this is a great tasting dish. This recipe is easy to make and if you make this recipe for two people it will cover 2 meals.

(1) 6 1/2 oz can of tuna fish, drained
(1) 10 1/2 oz can of cream of mushroom soup
