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 :)
