Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 Tbsp unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
1 medium onion, finely chopped
8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 cup chicken broth
8 oz medium pasta shells (about 3 cups)
1 (6-oz) jar Italian tuna in olive oil, drained and flaked
2 Tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 cups grated sharp white Cheddar
1 ½ cups crumbled flavored potato chips, such as salt-and-vinegar, onion or jalapeno

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Butter a 2-quart casserole or baking dish.

TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE



Tuna Noodle Casserole image

This updated tuna noodle casserole recipe stays true to the classic 1950s dish, but substitutes a rich, homemade sauce for the can of cream of mushroom soup. The addition of cremini mushrooms - along with celery, onions, peas and parsley - makes this casserole surprisingly vegetable-packed, while briny capers complement the tuna and balance out the creamy sauce. Like any good tuna noodle casserole, this recipe's pièce de résistance is the potato chip topping.

Categories     dinner, casseroles, main course

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 (12-ounce) bag dried egg noodles or other shaped pasta
1 1/2 cups finely chopped celery (about 4 ribs)
1 large yellow or white onion, chopped
1 pound mushrooms (preferably cremini), trimmed and sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 tablespoons drained capers, roughly chopped (optional)
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 cup half-and-half or heavy cream
1/4 cup dry sherry or dry white wine
2 (5- to 6-ounce) jars or cans tuna packed in olive oil, drained and flaked with a fork
1 cup frozen or fresh peas
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley, plus more for serving (optional)
2 cups plain, salted potato chips, crushed

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees and grease a 9-by-13 or other 3-quart casserole dish with butter.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until just al dente. (Do not overcook.) Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium Dutch oven or other heavy pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the celery and onion, season with salt and cook over medium, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the capers and garlic and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, until no streaks of flour remain, about 1 minute, reducing the heat as necessary to keep from scorching. Add the stock, half-and-half, sherry, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the sauce has thickened slightly, 5 to 7 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the tuna, peas and parsley, if using; season to taste.
  • Add the cooked noodles and toss well. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. Sprinkle the crushed potato chips on top and bake, uncovered, until hot and bubbling, about 25 minutes. Garnish with additional parsley, if using, and serve hot.

SHEET PAN TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE



Sheet Pan Tuna Noodle Casserole image

When you bake tuna noodle casserole on a sheet tray, you get the best of both worlds: a creamy, cheesy filling and a crispy, crunchy top. We used a combination of crushed butter crackers and panko breadcrumbs for a perfectly toasted topping. We also nixed the canned condensed soup and made a flavorful cheese sauce from scratch, giving you the ultimate comfort-food dish.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray
Kosher salt
One 12-ounce package wide egg noodles
1/4 cup olive oil
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 cups half-and-half
8 ounces cream cheese, cubed and at room temperature
8 ounces mild Cheddar, shredded on the large holes of a box grater
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Two 5-ounce cans white albacore tuna, drained and flaked
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 cup crushed butter crackers, such as Ritz (about 26 crackers)
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat and season generously with salt. Add the noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until just al dente according to package directions, about 5 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain well. Set the noodles aside and return the pot to medium-high heat.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and starting to brown in spots, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the half-and-half, cream cheese and reserved pasta water, then continue to cook until smooth and slightly thickened, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes more. Reduce the heat to low, then whisk in the Cheddar, Dijon, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt until all the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Stir in the reserved cooked noodles, tuna and peas until evenly combined (the mixture should be saucy; it will thicken as it bakes). Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Mix the crushed butter crackers, panko and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium bowl until well combined, then sprinkle evenly over the tuna-noodle mixture. Bake until the topping is well browned and the sauce is bubbling at the edges, about 10 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
