Number Of Ingredients 21

4 tbsp butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
1½ cups milk (I used whole milk)
½ cup grated Romano cheese
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp granulated garlic
1 tsp granulated onion
9.2 ounces Blue Harbor Tuna (two 4.6 ounce cans)
12 ounces uncooked pasta (cooke al dente- I used cavatappi)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups baby bella mushrooms (sliced (or button mushrooms))
1 cup sweet onions (diced )
2 cloves garlic (finely diced)
14 ounces artichoke hearts- (one can sliced (reserve liquid))
3 ounces sundried tomatoes (reconstituted and sliced)
14 oz cherry tomatoes with juice (2 cups fresh cherry tomatoes can be used instead)
1 cup kalamata olives (sliced)
1 tbsp basil (finely chopped)
1 tbsp Italian parsley (finely chopped (save a little to garnish the mozzarella, so it melts in))
1 cup shredded mozzarella (more or less as desired)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and the flour to the pan.
  • Using a wire whisk, blend the flour and butter together, this is a roux. Let the roux cook over low heat for 5 minutes, this will cook out the flour taste.
  • Add the stock to the roux and mix it together. This is your basic white sauce.
  • Add the milk, grated Romano cheese and seasonings to the sauce and mix well.
  • Your sauce is now a bechamel, If it's too thick, add a little more milk or water to the sauce (if you're feeling decadent a little heavy cream can be added)Place the bechamel off to the side until you've finished preparing the remainder of the ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
  • Prep the ingredients
  • Start cooking the pasta
  • Saute the mushrooms and chopped onions
  • Place the pasta in a baking dish and add the mushroom onion mixture, cherry tomatoes (and the juice from the can), sun dried tomatoes, olives, artichokes, basil and parsley. Mix the ingredients together.
  • Add the Blue Harbor Tuna to the pasta mixture, and blend it into the pasta.
  • Add the bechamel to the casserole and lightly mix the sauce in.It does not have to be completely mixed.
  • Bake the Tuna Casserole in a 350 degree preheated oven for 20 -25 minutes.I like how pasta gets a little crunchy around the edges from being exposed to the heat, but if you're not a fan, cover the dish with foil to keep all the pasta moist.
  • Carefully remove the casserole from the oven and top it with shredded mozzarella and sprinkle chopped parsley on top. Return the casserole to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is nicely melted.
  • Serve with grated Romano cheese and enjoy!
