JUST ANOTHER TUNA CASSEROLE -- NOT
Now and then I get a hunger for just such fare. I figured I'd do it up a little different this time around. Note: Betty Graves' Tuna and Noodle Casserole inspired this one. I'll try hers next. The Cream Cheese, Mixed Veggies and Grated Italian 6 Cheeses and Shredded Parmesan did the trick. It was a hit. I noted various brands...

Steps:
- 1. When water is at a simmer add 1 teaspoon oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook noodles per package directions. I boiled for about 10 minutes, after water came to a boil. Note: Salt will pit Stainless Steel Cookware if added before water comes to a boil.
- 2. In a small bowl microwave the 1 1/2 cups of mixed veggies (mine were Broccoli, Onion, Mushroom and Sweet Red Peppers mix), with one pat butter. They worked excellently.
- 3. In medium bowl add 8 oz. Cream Cheese, and 1/2 cup of the milk. Microwave 2/12 minutes, then stir well. Cream cheese should be melted quite well if not microwave a little more. Add the 2/3 cups of Shredded 6 Cheese Italian and 2/3 cups Shredded Parmesan and stir to melt shredded cheese. When melted add the other 1/2 cup of milk and mix well.
- 4. Drain noodle when done to desired state. Drizzle on 1 tablespoon of EVOO or 3 pats of butter, and stir well gently.
- 5. Lightly oil your baking dish or pan. I used a 9"by 13" glass cake dish. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.
- 6. Add Noodles, Veggies and Tuna to dish and stir well. Add the Cheese and Milk mixture and stir and combine gently.
- 7. I top with 1/3 cup Panko Plain Bread Crumbs and drizzle with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- 8. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. You could cover with foil, (I chose not to. Noodles did not dry out or over cook on top).
- 9. Serve with a side or salad and some great French or Italian Bread. Enjoy. This will hold up to an additional bit of milk to moistene when reheating leftovers.
- 10. Note: Kalona Noodles is the brand name. In a cellophane bag. An excellent noodle.
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.

Steps:

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix in large bowl tuna, soup, onion, mayo, frozen veggies, hot sauce, pimento, ricotta, water, and half a bag of shredded cheddar.
- 2. Next fold in cooked egg noodles.
- 3. Then spread the mixture in a 9x13 pan sprayed with non-stick spray.
- 4. Cover with remaining cheese.
- 5. Mix melted margarine and crushed crackers until well coated. Sprinkle over casserole.
- 6. Bake until golden and bubbly.
- 7. HINT: I have also used pepper jack cheese in this instead of the cheddar and it's great if you like spice. I have had the suggestion of adding another can of tuna to this because with all the other flavors the tuna flavor is not very strong. To each his own.
Tips:
- Use high-quality tuna: Opt for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil and avoid tuna that is packed in brine, as it can be too salty.
- Choose the right pasta: Elbow macaroni is the traditional pasta for tuna casserole, but you can also use other short pastas like penne or rotini.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it, as it will become mushy in the casserole.
- Use a creamy sauce: A creamy sauce is essential for a rich and flavorful tuna casserole. You can use a canned cream of mushroom soup, a white sauce made from scratch, or even a combination of the two.
- Add vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to tuna casserole. Some good options include peas, carrots, celery, and onion.
- Use a variety of cheeses: A blend of cheeses is ideal for tuna casserole. You can use a combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
- Top with breadcrumbs: A crispy breadcrumb topping adds texture and flavor to tuna casserole. You can use plain breadcrumbs or seasoned breadcrumbs.
- Bake until golden brown: Bake the tuna casserole until it is golden brown on top and bubbly around the edges. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
Conclusion:
Tuna casserole is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy sauce, tender tuna, and crispy breadcrumb topping, tuna casserole is a surefire hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give tuna casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
