Equipment
- Skillet
- Bowl
- 9x13-inch baking pan
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked pasta noodles 4 ounces dry
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 onion diced
- 2 cans tuna 5 ounces each
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper
- ½ cup peas no need to thaw
- 1 can Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup I use Campbell's
- ½ cup dried breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
- If you're not using leftover pasta, add it to a pan of boiling water and cook for the time indicated on the package. Cook it so it's still a little firm (al dente) as it will cook further in the oven.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sautée, stirring often, for 5 minutes, or until soft and translucent but not browned.
- Drain the pasta and run it under cold water briefly to cool. Drain again.
- Add the pasta, tuna, half the cheddar, paprika, garlic powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Add the fried onion, peas and soup (don't add water) to the bowl and stir to combine.
- Transfer the tuna noodle mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place it into the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- Mix the remaining cheese with the breadcrumbs and sprinkle it over the casserole.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for a further 5-7 minutes, or until the topping is melted and golden.
- Serve and enjoy!
