Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 5 ounce can tuna, drained
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese for topping
  • cup milk
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 3 cups egg noodles dry, approx. 6 ounces

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare the crumb topping by mixing panko bread crumbs, melted butter, shredded cheddar cheese, and parsley; set aside. Boil egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente, drain, and rinse under cold water. In a skillet, sauté the diced onion and celery in butter until they become tender, about 5–7 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles, sautéed vegetables, thawed peas, condensed soup, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, drained tuna, and parsley; stir thoroughly to incorporate. Evenly spread the mixture into a 2-quart baking dish and sprinkle the prepared crumb topping over the surface.
