Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 10 oz canned tuna (drained)
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 8 oz mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and release their moisture.
Remove the mushroom mixture from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually pour in the milk and broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir the mushroom mixture back into the skillet. Add the grated parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
Flake the drained tuna into the sauce and gently stir to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Add the cooked noodles to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
