Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 white onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups peas frozen
- 2 (6 ounce cans) solid white albacore tuna
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
Topping
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 2-3 teaspoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and lightly grease a 9x13 pan. Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. Drain and add pasta to prepared pan.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add in onion and saute 5 to 7 minutes, until softened. Stir in garlic and flour and cook 1 minute. Slowly pour in chicken broth and milk and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
- Once mixture has thickened, stir in peas, and tuna. Pour over pasta in the 9x13 pan. Add in cheddar cheese and toss to coat.
- To make the topping, in a small bowl, use a fork to mix together bread crumbs, parmesan, and olive oil. Sprinkle over the pasta.
- Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, until bread crumbs are lightly browned. Serve hot.
Notes
- For an extra saucy tuna casserole, double your sauce ingredients.
- If you want to use a can of soup instead of make your own sauce, use a 10.5 ounce can of cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup + 10.5 ounces of milk (measure in the can).
