Here's a traditional tuna casserole with lots of vegetables and a bit of Asian flair.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1-1/2 cups thinly sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 4 cups wide egg noodles, (about 8 oz/250 g)
- 2 cans (each 6 oz/170 g) water-packed tuna, drained
- 2 carrots, grated
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp minced fresh parsley
Preparation
In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; saut?nion, garlic, celery, mushrooms and pepper, stirring occasionally, until liquid is evaporated, about 8 minutes.
Sprinkle with flour; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk in milk, soy sauce and mustard; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook noodles until tender but firm, about 8 minutes. Reserving 1 cup (250 mL) of the cooking liquid, drain noodles and return to pot. Add cooking liquid, sauce, tuna, carrots and green onions; toss to coat.
Scrape into 8-inch (2 L) greased glass baking dish or shallow casserole. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and cheese. Bake in 375°F (190°C) oven until golden, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.
