Categories: Seafood, Pasta, Vegetables, Cheese, Dairy
Yield: 6 Servings

3 c Dried wide egg noodles
1/4 c Butter
1 c Chopped red sweet pepper
1 c Chopped celery
1/4 c Chopped onion
1/4 c All-purpose flour
2 tb Dijon-style mustard
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts Ground black pepper
2 1/4 c Milk
12 oz Chunk white tuna in water;
- drained, in chunks
1 c Cubed cheddar cheese
1/2 c Panko or soft bread crumbs
1/4 c Fresh grated Parmesan
- cheese
1 tb Snipped fresh parsley
1 tb Butter; melted

Lightly grease a 2 quart rectangular baking dish; set aside. In a
large saucepan cook noodles according to package directions; drain.
Return noodles to pan.

Meanwhile, for sauce, in a medium saucepan heat 1/4 cup butter over
medium heat until melted. Add sweet pepper, celery, and onion; cook
for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in
flour, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Gradually stir in milk. Cook
and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly.

Gently fold sauce, tuna, and cheddar cheese into cooked noodles.
Transfer noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish. In a small bowl
stir together panko, Parmesan cheese, and parsley; stir in melted
butter. Sprinkle crumb mixture over noodle mixture. (To serve today,
omit Step 4. Continue as directed in Step 5, except bake, uncovered,
for 25 to 30 minutes.)

Cover baking dish with plastic wrap, then with foil. Freeze for up to
1 month. To serve, thaw in the refrigerator overnight (casserole may
still be a bit icy).

Set oven @ 375ºF/190ºC.

Bake, uncovered, for 65 to 75 minutes or until heated through. Let
stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Makes: 6 servings
