Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 375.

2. Cook pasta.

3. Add broccoli during last 3-4 mins. Drain.

4. Mix onion-butter. Saute 6-7 mins.

5. Add flour, cook 1 min. Gradually add in milk. Add lemon-s&p. Cook, stirring until thickened. Add tuna, cook 2 mins. Add cheese.

6. Toss with pasta, bake 15-20 mins.

Notes: Very good - tasted like a grown-up, healthy version of tuna casserole; use much less pasta next time - maybe 1 1/2 cups uncooked.
