Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 ounces wide egg noodles
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, plus extra for buttering the baking dish
1 medium onion, diced
6 ounces white button mushrooms, finely chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups warmed whole milk
1/2 cup dry sherry
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Three 6.4-ounce cans white albacore tuna in water, drained
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
Serving suggestions: a green salad and crusty bread

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the egg noodles to al dente according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the mixture and stir so that the flour coats the onions and mushrooms thoroughly. Cook, stirring, for another minute. Add the milk and sherry and whisk to combine. Cook the sauce until it's nice and thick, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste and stir. Adjust the seasoning to make sure the sauce is adequately salted.
  • Add the tuna and stir it into the sauce. Then stir in the bell pepper and 1 tablespoon of the parsley. Stir in the noodles until they're coated. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and transfer the noodle mixture to the dish.
  • Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a bowl in the microwave; stir it around with the breadcrumbs and remaining tablespoon of parsley.
  • Top the casserole with the breadcrumbs and bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve piping hot with a green salad and warm crusty bread.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tuna. The better the quality of the tuna, the better the casserole will taste. Look for tuna that is packed in water or oil and is free of bones and skin.
  • Don't overcook the tuna. Tuna is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque throughout, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to the casserole. Some good choices include spinach, broccoli, mushrooms, and carrots.
  • Use a creamy sauce. A creamy sauce will help to bind the ingredients together and make the casserole more flavorful. You can use a simple white sauce or a more flavorful sauce, such as a cheese sauce or a béchamel sauce.
  • Top the casserole with cheese. This will give the casserole a golden brown crust and make it even more delicious. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but a sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese is a good choice.

Conclusion:

Tuna Florentine casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With its creamy sauce, tender tuna, and flavorful vegetables, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
