Tuna Noodle Casserole - Food Wishes
I realize these things are quite subjective, but I’ve always considered this baked tuna and noodle dish to be the king of the comfort food casseroles. Except for maybe mac and cheese, which is sort of in a category by itself. This is the simplest version I know, and probably my favorite.

Ingredients -
400g (14oz) - Macaroni Pasta
100g (3.5oz) - Unsalted Butter, Cubed
1 - Brown (Yellow) Onion, Fine Diced
2 - Garlic Cloves, Roughly Chopped
(70g) Plain (All-Purpose) Flour
600ml (600g) - Full Fat Milk, Warmed
3/4 Cup (180ml) - Thickened Cream
425 grams (14.9oz) - Canned Spring Water Tuna, Drained
1 - Lemon, Zest Only
100g (3.5oz) - Panko Bread Crumbs
150g (5.3oz) - Matured Cheddar Cheese, Freshly Grated
Seasoning To Taste
Flat Leaf Parsley To Garnish, Roughly Chopped
Notes -
The baking dish I used is 40.2cm x 22.9cm x 6.7cm.
If you want to make this creamy with more sauce, add 300g o raw pasta instead of 400g. This will result in a lot more sauce.
Cheese can be added through the bechamel sauce to create a mornay sauce before mixing everything together. As I did in the video, you can add more cheese to the top to make the crust.
If you wish to add more tuna, you can add half a can more. If you want to overload it, add 2 full cans. If you do this, reduce the amount of pasta by 100g.

Seafoodwatch.org's guide for buying sustainable canned tuna:
***RECIPE, SERVES 6-8***
1 12 oz (340g) bag dried egg noodles
4 5 oz (140g) cans of tuna
1 12 oz (340g) jar of marinated artichokes
1 lb (454g) fresh green beans
1 sweet red pepper
3-4 small hot peppers (or another sweet pepper)
2 bunches of green onions
1 qt (1 liter) milk (or non-dairy milk, or stock, or water)
1 750mL bottle of dry white wine (or less, or none)
1 stick (113g) butter (or 1/2 cup, 120mL olive oil)
1/2 gup (60g) all-purpose flour
grated parmesan or pecorino cheese (optional)
garlic powder
onion powder
dried thyme (or other dried herbs)
salt
pepper
Heat a large, stove-safe baking dish over medium. Melt in the butter then whisk in the flour until smooth. Keep whisking as the roux cooks for a minute or two until it's just starting to turn brown and it starts to smell a little nutty. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring the sauce to a simmer until it thickens, then take the heat down to low, and remember to stir it occasionally while you do everything else, so the bottom doesn't burn.
Snip the stem ends off all the green beans and then just them into large chunks. Stir those into the sauce. Seed the peppers, cut into thin slices and stir into the sauce. Tear any decaying outer layers off the green onions, trim off the roots, thinly slice both the whites and greens and stir into the sauce. Stir in the artichokes and their marinade. Dump in the tuna, season heavily with garlic powder, onion powder, dry herbs, black pepper and a big pinch of salt. Stir, taking care to not break up the tuna too much (there's more stirring to come, so go easy on it).
Stir in the dry, uncooked egg noodles. Top off with enough wine (or water, or stock, etc) to just barely cover everything and stir. Taste the liquid and add more seasoning if needed — it should taste a little too salty on its own. Make sure all the noodles are pushed down just below the water line. Grate some cheese on top, if you want.
Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake at 400ºF/200ºC until the noodles are soft and most of the liquid is absorbed, 45-60 min. Uncover and bake until the top is nice and brown, another 20 min or so. Let rest to solidify before scooping. Leftovers reheat great.

7:20 Adding the bread crumbs
8:06 Tasting the recipe
INGREDIENTS
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup fresh bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 3 cups pasta shells
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Neufchâtel Cheese
- 8 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 2 5-oz cans tuna, drained and flaked into pieces
- 1 1/4 cups frozen peas, thawed
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a 4-6 quart saucepan, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium-low heat. Add the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Stir and cook the breadcrumbs until they are browned, 4-6 minutes. Once cooked, remove the crumbs from the saucepan and set them aside to cool.
- In the same saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tbsp of butter. Once melted, add the onion, celery, salt, and black pepper. Sauté until the onion turns translucent and begins to soften, 4-6 minutes. Add the garlic and Italian seasoning and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds.
- Add the chicken stock and milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer and add the pasta. Cover and simmer until the pasta is cooked al dente, 8-10 minutes.
- Once the pasta is cooked, continue to simmer and add the heavy cream, Neufchâtel cheese, and half of the cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheeses are melted and smooth, 3 minutes.
- Add the lemon zest, tuna, and peas. Stir to combine and warm the peas, 2-3 minutes. Add the remaining shredded cheese, turn the heat off, cover, and allow the cheese to melt. Once melted, add the bread crumbs, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

From my farm to your home. ????
My name is Kaleb Wyse and here, you will find delicious recipes, videos from my farm, garden, and fun home projects. My knowledge has been earned from years of home cooks and farmers in my family.
A farm is much more than a house to live in; it’s a lifestyle. My passion for gardening and landscaping came from outdoor work with my mom in our expansive farm yard, my love for baking came from innumerable short walks to my grandma’s house to make cookies, and as a farmer, my dad taught me that we are the stewards of our land.
So whether you live in a city center or have decided rural life is for you, I hope to inspire you with the projects and recipes I use in daily life. We can’t all live on a farm, but we all need farms in our lives. From the dirt in my vegetable garden to the flour in my kitchen, I’ll show you everything I love to do.
