CURRIED TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE

Curried Tuna Noodle Casserole image

Haven't had a tuna noodle casserole in years, but this Cooking Light recipes sounds so comforting with the mushrooms, peas, egg noodles and the ritz cracker topping. Couldn't resist posting this recipe. Note: I might try this with some red salmon in lieu of the tuna. Prep time does not include cooking time for noodles.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons butter
5 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced (can use button, about 3/4 pound)
3/4 cup frozen green pea, thawed
3/4 cup green onion, sliced
2/3 cup red bell pepper, chopped
2 teaspoons curry powder
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups low-fat milk, 1%
4 cups medium egg noodles, cooked (about 3 1/4 cups uncooked)
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (12 ounce) can solid white tuna packed in water, drained and flaked
1/4 cup reduced-fat Ritz cracker (about 7 crackers)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, saute 6 minutes or until soft. Add the peas, onions, bell peppers and curry; saute 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Place flour in a small bowl; gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk. Add to mushroom mixture, bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 2 minutes or until thick, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in pasta, parsley, salt and tuna. Spoon into a 2-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle with crushed crackers. Cover and bake 20 minutes.
