Pasta Tuna Melt is a fusion dish blending hearty Italian-inspired pasta with the comfort of an American tuna melt. This dish features tender pasta tossed in a creamy, tangy sauce made with canned tuna, shredded cheese, and a light touch of mayonnaise, then baked until golden and bubbly. Complemented with herbs like parsley or dill, it captures a balance of savory flavors. Rich in protein from the tuna and cheese, it also provides essential omega-3 fatty acids for heart and brain health. The inclusion of whole-grain pasta or added veggies like spinach or peas can boost its fiber and nutrient content. However, higher fat and sodium levels from the cheese and mayonnaise make portion moderation key for a balanced meal. Perfect for a quick, comforting dinner or a make-ahead meal, Pasta Tuna Melt combines indulgence with practicality.
