what makes it special

CHEF JOHN’S TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE

Crisp potato chips give this casserole a satisfying crunch, and jalapeño-flavored ones supply added kick. The noodles, which go in slightly undercooked, retain their texture. And oil-packed tuna and sharp white cheddar keep it rich without the usual can of cream of mushroom soup.

“I used white wine in place of some of the milk, and it added a really nice bit of acidity.”
