TUNA CASSEROLE - MEDITERRANEAN STYLE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and the flour to the pan.
• Using a wire whisk, blend the flour and butter together, this is a roux. Let the roux cook over low heat for 5 minutes, this will cook out the flour taste.
• Add the stock to the roux and mix it together. This is your basic white sauce.
• Add the milk, grated Romano cheese and seasonings to the sauce and mix well.
• Your sauce is now a bechamel, If it's too thick, add a little more milk or water to the sauce (if you're feeling decadent a little heavy cream can be added)Place the bechamel off to the side until you've finished preparing the remainder of the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
• Prep the ingredients
• Start cooking the pasta
• Saute the mushrooms and chopped onions
• Place the pasta in a baking dish and add the mushroom onion mixture, cherry tomatoes (and the juice from the can), sun dried tomatoes, olives, artichokes, basil and parsley. Mix the ingredients together.
• Add the Blue Harbor Tuna to the pasta mixture, and blend it into the pasta.
• Add the bechamel to the casserole and lightly mix the sauce in.It does not have to be completely mixed.
• Bake the Tuna Casserole in a 350 degree preheated oven for 20 -25 minutes.I like how pasta gets a little crunchy around the edges from being exposed to the heat, but if you're not a fan, cover the dish with foil to keep all the pasta moist.
• Carefully remove the casserole from the oven and top it with shredded mozzarella and sprinkle chopped parsley on top. Return the casserole to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is nicely melted.
• Serve with grated Romano cheese and enjoy!

ITALIAN TUNA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Place the spinach on a plate and microwave it for 6 minutes on high to defrost it. Place it in a clean kitchen towel and wring it dry, then reserve.
• While the spinach is defrosting, get a large pot of water on the stove for the pasta. Bring to a boil, then salt the water liberally and cook the shells to al dente.
• While the pasta works, heat a deep, large skillet over medium heat. Add the EVOO, then melt the butter into the oil. When the butter melts, add the onions and garlic and cook until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour around the pan and cook for a minute, then whisk in the wine-it will cook off and the mixture will thicken almost immediately. Whisk in the stock, then whisk in the milk and bring it to a bubble. Reduce the heat a bit. Season the sauce with the nutmeg, hot sauce, and mustard, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to thicken, then add the spinach, separating it as you add it to the sauce.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Back to the sauce: add the tuna, flaking it as you go, then stir to combine. Heat the spinach and tuna through for a minute or so. Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce. Transfer the tuna to a casserole dish and cover it with the Parm or Romano. Place the casserole under the broiler for 2 minutes to brown the edges and the cheese. Top with the parsley and serve.
