Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
½ teaspoon dry mustard
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
3 (7 ounce) cans tuna packed in water, drained
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
1 cup crushed plain potato chips
1 pinch paprika, for garnish
8 ounces fettuccini pasta

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt the butter in a small skillet over low heat. Stir in the flour until smooth and continue to cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and gradually stir in the milk so that no lumps form. Return to the burner and heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the mustard powder and a little more than half of the Cheddar cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Flake the tuna and stir it into the sauce along with the parsley and chopped egg. Transfer to a 9 inch round cake pan. Mix together the potato chips and remaining Cheddar cheese and sprinkle over the top. Dust very lightly with paprika.
  • Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fettuccini pasta and cook for 8 minutes, or until tender; drain. Serve tuna Mornay over fettucine.

1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Place the butter in a preheated saucepan and melt the butter down (on low heat).
  • Once the butter is melted down add the plain flour.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh tuna steaks that are at least 1 inch thick.
  • If you don't have any white wine on hand, you can substitute chicken broth or water.
  • Be sure to cook the tuna until it is just cooked through, as overcooking will make it dry and tough.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the sauce, such as chopped mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions.
  • Serve the tuna mornay over rice, pasta, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

Tuna mornay is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The creamy sauce is rich and flavorful, and the tuna is cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
