MEDITERRANEAN TUNA-NOODLE CASSEROLE
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.

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.
GREEK-STYLE TUNA SALAD
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
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!

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.
