Steps:

• Heat a large pan over medium heat.
• Add your preferred butter (any oil would work too) to heat gently.
• Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper and saute for 5-8 minutes to soften.
• Mix in the flour and stir to coat the vegetables evenly.
• In a glass measuring cup, mix the milk and mustards and pour into the vegetables, stirring to blend.
• Continue to stir until the mixture is thick and turn off the heat.
• Add the salt to taste and the mayo or cheese. Stir to blend, taste, and add more mustards, mayo, or salt to your taste.
• Stir in the noodles of choice and the tuna and mix to blend.
• Pour into a greased 12 x 8 pan.
• Topping: Mix together the breadcrumbs or almond flour, melted butter, and minced garlic and sprinkle evenly over the top of the casserole.

GLUTEN FREE TUNA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Prepare the cream sauce by adding all the ingredients to a blender, and blending until very smooth and creamy. Set aside.
• Make "breadcrumbs" by adding the nuts, seeds, and salt to a blender, and pulsing until a course flour is formed. Set aside.
• Boil pasta. If baking this as a casserole, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Once the pasta is cooked (slightly undercook, since it will continue to cook in the casserole), add the cream sauce, peas, and tuna, and heat over medium high heat. Stir the sauce into the mixture until the sauce begins to bubble and thicken from the arrowroot.
• Season with fresh thyme, sea salt and black pepper.
• This pasta is the creamiest if eaten straight from the stovetop. The sauce absorbs into the pasta as it bakes. Stop at this stage if you'd like to serve dinner quickly!
• Add the pasta to a casserole dish, and top with nut and seed "breadcrumbs", for a salty crunchy topping.
• Bake for about 10 minutes uncovered, until the topping begins to brown and get crunchy. Serve immediately.
