Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

Coarse salt and ground pepper
3/4 pound tubetti or elbow macaroni
1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/2 ounce Parmesan, grated (2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced small
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 cans (6 ounces each) solid light tuna packed in water, drained and flaked
1 cup frozen peas, thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta 2 minutes less than package instructions (it will be undercooked). Drain. In a small bowl, toss together panko, Parmesan, and 2 teaspoons oil.
  • In pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until softened, 8 minutes. Add flour and whisk to coat onion with flour. Slowly whisk in broth, then milk.
  • Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce is thickened, about 8 minutes. Stir in pasta, tuna, and peas and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer tuna mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and top with panko mixture. Bake until sauce is bubbling and crust is golden, 17 to 20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ounces egg noodles
1 (5 ounce) can tuna, drained and flaked, or more to taste
½ cup sour cream

1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix (such as Lipton®)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
⅛ teaspoon seasoned salt (such as LAWRY'S®), or more to taste

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality tuna. Opt for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in oil.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the casserole will taste. Try to use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • Don't overcook the tuna. Tuna is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to the casserole. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, peppers, and corn.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make tuna casserole. Feel free to add your own personal touches, such as different spices, herbs, or vegetables.
