Javins & Young Family Cookbook

A fast, simple, and easy-to-clean-up-afterwards staple from my childhood. This dish comes from the January/February 2002 Cook’s Illustrated (Blue Cheeses on the back cover), which had a collection of one pot tuna pasta dishes, many of which were recurring staples at my home. This is probably my favorite of the lot, despite my general detestation for dried fruit in anything savory. I swap out the original raisins for something a less sweet: tart cherries or unsweetened cranberries.

The lowest effort dandan noodles possible. This is a go-to for me (Walt) when I’m working from home and forget to eat lunch until 2:00 in the afternoon, and find I need something stat to get my blood sugar back up.
