Ingredients
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 3/4 pound tubetti or elbow macaroni
- 1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
- 1/2 ounce Parmesan, grated (2 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced small
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 2 cans (6 ounces each) solid light tuna packed in water, drained and flaked
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta 2 minutes less than package instructions (it will be undercooked). Drain. In a small bowl, toss together panko, Parmesan, and 2 teaspoons oil.
In pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until softened, 8 minutes. Add flour and whisk to coat onion with flour. Slowly whisk in broth, then milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce is thickened, about 8 minutes. Stir in pasta, tuna, and peas and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer tuna mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and top with panko mixture. Bake until sauce is bubbling and crust is golden, 17 to 20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
