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!
