Ingredients

Method

Spray 13- x 9-inch baking dish. In large saucepan of boiling water, cook pasta for 2 to 3 minutes longer than package directions. Reserving ½ cup of the cooking liquid, drain. Return pasta to saucepan; add kale. Let stand for 2 minutes; toss to combine. Set aside.

Meanwhile, in separate large saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat; sauté onion and celery, stirring frequently, until onion is softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and thyme; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Sprinkle in flour; stir, scraping bottom of pan, just until combined. Add milk, salt and pepper; cook, stirring constantly and scraping bottom of pan, until sauce is thick enough to coat back of spoon, 7 to 8 minutes.

Preheat broiler to high. Stir reserved cooking liquid, sauce, tuna and 2 cups of the cheese into pasta mixture. Scrape into prepared dish; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Broil until cheese is golden and bubbly, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Top with potato chips.

Test Kitchen Tip: Cooking the pasta for longer will keep the noodles from soaking up the sauce, making for a creamier casserole.
