Tuna Penne Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and toss pasta with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an ovenproof baking dish.
• While penne is cooking, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tuna and cook for 2 minutes. Pour heavy cream over tuna and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add penne and toss well. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and cover with Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2 quart casserole dish.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add penne pasta, and cook 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Mix in onion and cook 5 minutes. Stir in the celery and bell pepper and continue cooking for another five minutes. Mix in the garlic, salt and pepper and continue cooking 3 minutes. Pour in sherry; stir in the kale and cover. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kale has wilted.
• Transfer wok mixture to a large bowl. Mix in the cooked pasta, soup, vegetable broth, and tuna. Pour mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Top with a layer of mozzarella followed by a layer of bread crumbs. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Prepare the pasta using the package directions, omitting the salt. Drain well in a colander. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, lightly spray a large broilerproof skillet with cooking spray. Add the oil, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the onion over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, or until soft, stirring frequently. Set aside.
• Preheat the broiler if using the topping.
• Put the cornstarch in a cup. Add the water, whisking to dissolve. Set aside.
• Whisk the milk, parsley, curry powder, salt, onion powder, and pepper into the onion. Cook, still over medium-high heat, for 5 minutes, or until the milk mixture is hot.
• Gently whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Continue to gently whisk for 3 to 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat.
• Stir in the beans, tomatoes, tuna, and pasta.
• In a small bowl, stir together the panko and margarine. Sprinkle over the casserole.
• Broil about 4 inches from the heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the topping is browned.
• Cook's Tip on Cornstarch
• Cornstarch needs gentle treatment. Too much heat or stirring will cause a cornstarch-thickened sauce to become thin.
