SANDY D'AMATO'S TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE (LIGHTER)
For the Make it Lighter Game, I've lightened up WI Cheesehead's "Recipe #203659" By changing to low-fat or fat-free versions of the dairy products, omiting the olives and using baked chips for topping. This is now lighter and healthier.

SPICY TOMATO-TUNA NOODLE SKILLET CASSEROLE WITH AIOLI
Inspired by a dish at Brooklyn's Saint Julivert Fisherie, this updated tuna noodle casserole is homey, bright, and pantry-forward. Chef and owner Alex Raij modeled the menu item after fideuà, a paella-style pasta dish from northern Spain. We followed her lead by toasting dry pasta like ditali or rigatoni in oil until golden brown before cooking it into the tomato sauce, giving the pasta nutty flavor and plenty of al dente texture.

Steps:
- Aioli
- Whisk egg yolk, garlic, ¼ tsp. salt, and 2 tsp. water in a small bowl to combine. Place bowl on a kitchen towel so it won't slide around as you whisk and gradually stream in oil, whisking constantly until thick and emulsified. Aioli should be thick but pourable; gradually whisk in more oil if needed. Taste and season with more salt if desired.
- Casserole
- Place rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 375°F. Pulse onion, garlic, and roasted red peppers in a food processor until finely chopped; set aside.
- Heat 3 Tbsp. olive oil in a 10" ovenproof skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-low. Add pasta and cook, stirring often, until evenly coated in oil and lightly browned, about 5 minutes (depending on the size and shape of your pasta, you may need to work in batches). Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a large bowl. Reserve pan.
- Drain tuna, reserving 2 Tbsp. tuna oil. place oil in reserved pan and increase heat to medium. Add anchovy, ½ tsp. salt, and reserved chopped vegetable mixture and season with pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften, 5-7 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until slightly darkened in color, about 3 minutes. Mix in toasted pasta, tomatoes, turmeric, red pepper flakes, remaining ½ tsp. salt, and 2½ cups water and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is slightly softened, 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in drained tuna and ¼ cup water.
- Transfer skillet to oven and bake casserole until pasta is tender and juices at the edges are bubbling, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Heat broiler. Drizzle casserole with a little olive oil and broil until browned and crisped in spots, about 4 minutes.
- Spoon some aioli over casserole and top with parsley if desired. Serve remaining aioli alongside.
Tips:
- Use a variety of tuna. You can use canned tuna, fresh tuna, or even smoked tuna. If you're using canned tuna, be sure to drain it well before adding it to the casserole.
- Add vegetables to your casserole. This is a great way to sneak in some extra nutrients and flavor. Some good options include chopped celery, onion, carrots, and peas.
- Use a creamy sauce. This will help to bind the ingredients together and make the casserole more flavorful. You can use a canned cream of celery soup, a homemade white sauce, or even a jar of Alfredo sauce.
- Top the casserole with a crispy topping. This will add some texture and flavor to the casserole. You can use crushed crackers, breadcrumbs, or even grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake the casserole until it's bubbly and hot. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
