Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 ¼ cups fusilli pasta
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
3 teaspoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon mustard powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
15 ounces tuna packed in water, drained and flaked
¼ cup dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fusilli in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, stirring constantly for about 1 minute. Remove from heat and gradually pour in milk, whisking constantly the entire time to avoid lumps from forming. Return to heat and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese. Add lemon juice, mustard powder, salt, and pepper and mix well.
  • Drain fusilli and fold into the sauce. Mix in tuna. Pour mixture into an 8-inch casserole dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Top with remaining Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and golden, about 30 minutes.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I would add more seasoning next time.

I'm not a huge fan of tuna, but this casserole was surprisingly good. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful.
