A comforting and easy-to-make casserole featuring tuna, peas, and a creamy sauce, perfect for a quick family dinner.
Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of boiling water until al dente, then drain.
Avoid overcooking the noodles as they will continue to cook in the oven.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then whisk in the flour to form a roux.
Cook the roux until it turns a light golden color to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the milk, salt, and pepper, cooking until the sauce thickens.
Stir constantly to prevent lumps from forming in the sauce.
Combine the cooked noodles, tuna, peas, and sauce in a casserole dish, mixing gently.
Mix gently to keep the tuna in chunks and avoid breaking the noodles.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole.
For added flavor, mix the breadcrumbs with a little melted butter before sprinkling.
Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Creamy Tuna Noodle Bake.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
