HARD TIMES CREAMED TUNA



Hard Times Creamed Tuna image

Times were tough for my newly divorced mom in the 70's. I remember eating creamed tuna on toast with a green salad on the side at least weekly. It was one of my favorite meals, and I had no idea we were eating it out of necessity. Times aren't so tough now, but I still make this about once a month. It's great when you're in a hurry, or have limited supplies on hand. My kids love it too!

TUNA CASSEROLE WITH BOW TIES, MUSHROOMS AND PARMESAN



Tuna Casserole With Bow Ties, Mushrooms and Parmesan image

This is a great from scratch Tuna Casserole. No canned soup here, an easy Parmesan cream sauce with just a touch of cayenne to give it a nice kick. Red bell peppers, green onions and mushrooms give it the right flavor and colors to pull an ordinary tuna casserole to over the top. This recipe comes from Art Smith's cookbook "Kitchen Life" which I am enjoying very much! When I make this again, I will probably substitute Ritz cracker crumbs for the dried bread crumbs to add a little more pizzaz to the top.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb bow tie pasta (also called farfalle)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 red bell pepper, chopped
10 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
3 scallions, chopped
1/3 cup flour
2 cups milk
1 cup chicken broth
2 (6 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and pepper
1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350. Lightly coat the inside of a 2 ½ to 3 quart baking with vege spray.
  • Bring a large of water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until barely tender (it will cook further in the oven). Drain well. Return the pasta to the cooking pot.
  • Meanwhile heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and cook stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms and the scallions, and cook, stirring often, until the mushroom juices evaporate and the mushrooms are tender, about 6 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with the flour and stir well. Stir in the milk and broth, and bring to a boil, stirring often.
  • Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the tuna, ½ cup parmesan and the cayenne. Stir this into the pasta mixture and season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the pasta into the baking dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs and remaining ¼ cup parmesan. Bake until the sauce is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes, then serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality canned tuna: Opt for tuna packed in olive oil or water rather than brine, as this will result in a more flavorful dish. Solid white albacore tuna is a good choice due to its mild flavor and firm texture.
  • Cook the bowtie pasta according to the package instructions: Al dente pasta is the ideal texture for this recipe, as it will hold up well in the creamy sauce.
  • Make a creamy sauce: The creamy sauce is what brings this dish together. Use a combination of heavy cream, sour cream, and cream cheese for a rich and velvety sauce. Season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.
  • Add vegetables: Adding vegetables to this dish is a great way to sneak in some extra nutrients. Peas, carrots, and celery are all good choices.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or dill add a pop of color and freshness to the dish. They also enhance the flavor.

Conclusion:

Creamy tuna bowties is a quick and easy pasta dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it can be customized to your liking. Add your favorite vegetables, herbs, or spices to create a dish that is uniquely yours.
