Choose best-quality tuna that's packed in olive oil for this dish. Even after draining it, you'll get moister, richer results than if you used water-packed tuna.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for baking dishes
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound wide egg noodles
2 red bell peppers (ribs and seeds removed), thinly sliced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
5 cups whole milk
4 cans (6 ounces each) tuna in olive oil, drained
1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained and thickly sliced
5 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly oil two 8-inch square (or other shallow 2-quart) baking dishes. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook noodles until 2 minutes short of al dente; drain, and return to pot.
  • Meanwhile, in a 5-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil over medium. Add bell peppers; season with salt and pepper. Cook until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Gradually add milk, stirring until smooth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a simmer.
  • Remove from heat; add mixture to noodles in pot, along with tuna, artichoke hearts, and scallions. Season with salt and pepper, and toss. Divide between prepared baking dishes, and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until golden and bubbling, about 20 minutes.

I had this in a restaurant once and it was so good I had to go home and recreate it. I have it with spinach stuffed in a pita or sandwich. I've cut back on the dressing to keep the calorie count low but adding more is yummy!

GREEK-STYLE TUNA CASSEROLE



Greek-Style Tuna Casserole image

My mom was cleaning out one of her closets and came across several folders full of recipes that she had clipped from magazines and newpapers over the years. I'm not sure what publication this one came from. The title says "casserole" but it's really more of a hot pasta salad. Microwave cooking makes this a quick and easy meal!

Tuna Casserole - Mediterranean Style image

When it's time for dinner my Mediterranean-Style Tuna Casserole is guaranteed to bring smiles and requests for seconds to your dinner table! My easy to make casserole is loaded with delicious and easy to find ingredients.

Provided by Chef Dennis Littley

Categories     Entree

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!

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna. Fresh tuna is best, but canned tuna can also be used. If using canned tuna, choose tuna packed in water or olive oil, and drain it well before using.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for celery, onion, and carrots, but you can also use other vegetables such as zucchini, peppers, or broccoli.
  • Don't overcook the tuna. Tuna is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it's opaque. Overcooked tuna will be dry and tough.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce in this recipe is made with a combination of tomato sauce, cream of mushroom soup, and milk. You can also use other sauces, such as a white sauce or a cheese sauce.
  • Top the casserole with a crispy topping. This recipe calls for a topping made with bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and butter. You can also use other toppings, such as crushed crackers or potato chips.

Conclusion:

Greek-style tuna casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With its combination of flavorful ingredients and crispy topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
