Tuna Mornay Casserole
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup uncooked rotini pasta
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup frozen green peas
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 2 (7 ounce) cans tuna, drained
  • salt
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to a high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Prepare a container filled with salted water and bring it to a rolling boil.
2
Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until it reaches your desired level of tenderness, approximately 8 minutes. Drain the excess water.
3
In a small saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat until it's melted. Gradually incorporate the flour into the butter mixture, stirring continuously to achieve a smooth consistency.
4
Slowly pour in milk while stirring constantly, ensuring that no lumps form during the process. Continue to stir until the mixture reaches a boiling point, then gradually add half of the cheese into the mixture.
5
Introduce the peas, corn, and cooked pasta to the sauce mixture. Drain any excess liquid from the tuna, reserving a small amount of moisture to maintain its tenderness.
6
Use a fork to flake the tuna and then stir it into the cheese mixture. Transfer the sauce mixture to a casserole dish.
7
Top the sauce mixture with the remaining cheese and sprinkle breadcrumbs over it to add a crunchy texture.
8
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese has turned a golden brown color.
