CHEESY TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE



Cheesy Tuna Noodle Casserole image

This was a favorite in my home growing up and now it's a favorite of my family as well. I double the recipe these days for my husband and three children. For a change of pace I add canned chopped green chilies and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne, use pasta shells or spirals, or top the casserole with sliced American or cheddar cheese instead of breadcrumbs.

Provided by Ali Maffucci

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 20

1.5 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves (minced)
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 small white onion (diced)
3 celery stalks (diced)
8 oz chopped baby bella mushrooms
½ teaspoon dried thyme flakes
½ teaspoon dried oregano flakes
salt and pepper (to taste)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 5- ounce cans of tuna in water (drained)
3 medium zucchinis (Blade A)
For the breadcrumbs:
1/2 cup almond meal
1 tablespoon water
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried basil flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and coat a 4-quart casserole dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • 2. Place a large pot over medium heat and add in the olive oil. Once the oil heats, add in the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  • 3. Add in the onions and cook until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Once translucent, add in the celery, mushrooms and season with thyme, oregano and salt and pepper.
  • 4. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Halfway through, add in the chicken broth and cook until reduced halfway. Once reduced halfway, stir in the parmesan cheese.
  • 5. While the mixture is cooking, place your ingredients for the breadcrumbs in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper generously and then toss to combine and then add in the water. Using your fingers, roll like a dough until all of the meal is formed into dough. Set aside.
  • 6. Add in the tuna and cook for 1 minute, just to heat up the fish. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  • 7. Add the zucchini noodles to the dish and lightly toss around until the mixture evenly spreads throughout the noodles.
  • 8. Take the almond meal "dough" and crumble into breadcrumbs over the casserole, evenly until all of the "dough" is used.
  • 9. Cover the casserole with tin foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the tinfoil and bake 10 more minutes to get the breadcrumbs browned.
  • 10. Remove the casserole from the oven, pour and excess water out into a sink and serve.

Layered Cheesy Tuna and Zucchini Casserole image

A family favorite! --- I would recommend to slice the zucchini fairly thick and you may want to add in some chopped green bell pepper also if desired, I have even substituted cooked chicken breast in place of tuna with great success, I like to combine both mozzarella and cheddar cheeses but of coarse one or the other may be used, I also add in 1 teaspoon garlic powder to the sour cream mixture.
