Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Coarse salt and ground pepper
10 ounces green beans, stem ends trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
1/2 pound gemelli or other short pasta
Bechamel Sauce
2 cans (5 ounces each) solid white albacore tuna packed in water, drained
5 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed, torn into large pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan of well-salted boiling water, cook green beans until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer green beans to a colander (reserving water). Rinse with cold water until cool; drain. Return water in pan to a boil; add pasta and cook 2 to 3 minutes short of al dente; drain and rinse pasta.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine pasta, green beans, and bechamel; season with salt and pepper. Gently fold in tuna.
  • In a food processor, pulse bread until coarse crumbs form. Transfer to a bowl and stir in butter. Transfer tuna mixture to a 2-quart baking dish and top with breadcrumbs. Bake until sauce is bubbling and breadcrumbs are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

I'm not a fan of tuna, but I actually enjoyed this casserole. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the noodles were cooked perfectly.

This recipe was easy to follow and the casserole turned out great! I used a whole wheat noodle and added some extra vegetables, and it was still delicious.
