Ingredients

½ (16 ounce) package yolk-free egg noodles (such as No Yolks®)

2 tablespoons butter

1 (16 ounce) package cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced

1 ½ cups peas

½ medium yellow onion, chopped

½ teaspoon kosher salt

freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 pinch cayenne pepper

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 cup whole milk

¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth

2 cups grated white Cheddar cheese

1 (8 ounce) can water-packed tuna, drained and flaked

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

1 tablespoon lemon juice

¼ cup panko bread crumbs

1 tablespoon butter, melted

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain.

While the egg noodles are cooking, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, peas, and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne.

Sprinkle flour over the vegetables; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add milk and chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Add drained egg noodles to the vegetable mixture, along with Cheddar cheese, tuna, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, parsley, dill, chives, and lemon juice; stir until well combined.

Combine remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan with panko and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Sprinkle over the casserole.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, 17 to 19 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Try 1/2 white Cheddar and 1/2 Velveeta(R) also!
