Tuna Bake With Pesto
A creamy tuna mix with basil pesto topped with bubbling cheddar cheese makes this tuna bake with pesto an easy yet delicious family dinner.
Our kiddos love tuna, and this bake includes a fresh bite of pesto that can be homemade or store bought. The pesto can be left off of half the dish if desired. In our home, the kids are not fans (yet), so Zach and I keep one-half of the 9×13 pesto-free.
This dish pairs really well with roasted veggies and is especially delicious dipped with toasted French bread.
We love the pre-made pesto from Costco, but get ready to make a lot of pesto recipes.
Bon appetit!
