Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 loaf day-old crusty bread or 2 crusty day-old rolls
1 to 1 1/4 pounds tuna steaks, 1-inch thick -- 2 big steaks
1 cup white wine
Water
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon peppercorns
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil -- 1 turn of the pan
4 tablespoons butter, divided
2 large shallots, chopped
16 small button mushrooms, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons ground thyme or poultry seasoning
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
1 cup baby frozen peas
1 pound extra-wide egg noodles, cooked to al dente or 12 ounces, 1 box, egg fettuccini
Chopped fresh parsley leaves, to garnish

Steps:

  • Place bread in warm oven, 250 degrees F, to dry and toast, 20 minutes.
  • Place tuna in a skillet and add wine, then water -- just enough to cover fish. Add bay leaf and peppercorns. Bring liquids to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cover skillet. Poach fish for 12 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil, 1 turn of the pan, and 2 tablespoons butter--reserve remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add shallots and mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Saute gently for 5 minutes. Sprinkle in ground thyme or poultry seasoning and flour and cook flour 1 minute, stirring with whisk. Whisk in stock, then cream. Adjust seasonings. Add peas.
  • Remove cooked, poached tuna to a bowl and flake fish with a fork.
  • Add cooked noodles and tuna to sauce. Remove sauce from heat and transfer mixture to a casserole or serving dish.
  • Use the widest cutting edge on a box grater to grate the bread into large crumbs. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small cup in microwave and pour melted butter over bread, Scatter buttery bread crumbs and parsley over the top of the casserole. Serve immediately.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover tuna. It's also a great dish to take to potlucks or picnics.

I'm not a big fan of tuna, but I actually really liked this casserole. The sauce is creamy and flavorful and the noodles are cooked perfectly.

I've been making this casserole for years and it's always a hit. It's one of my go-to recipes when I'm short on time or when I need to feed a crowd.

OMG! This casserole is amazing! I've made it twice already and my family loves it. It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser.

This casserole was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

This casserole was a disaster! The noodles were mushy, the sauce was watery, and the tuna was dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra seasoning and it was much better. Overall, it was a good recipe, but it could use a few tweaks.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this recipe, but I was pleasantly surprised. The casserole was easy to make and turned out delicious. I especially liked the crispy breadcrumb topping.

This casserole was a hit with my family! The combination of tuna, noodles, and vegetables was perfect, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
