CHEF JOHN'S TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly butter a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt until it starts to soften up and turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the flour, and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes, reducing heat if needed.
• Pour in cold milk and whisk for 1 minute. Raise heat to medium-high and cook, stirring often, until the sauce thickens and comes to a simmer. Remove from heat, whisk in Cheddar cheese, and reserve until needed.
• Fill a large pot with water and remaining salt and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles for 5 minutes. Drain well and add to a large mixing bowl. Stir in the reserved sauce, followed by tuna, peas, cayenne, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix with a spatula until evenly combined.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Mix bread crumbs, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and olive oil together in a small bowl until combined and resembling wet sand. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until browned and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

SHEET PAN TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat and season generously with salt. Add the noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until just al dente according to package directions, about 5 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain well. Set the noodles aside and return the pot to medium-high heat.
• Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and starting to brown in spots, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the half-and-half, cream cheese and reserved pasta water, then continue to cook until smooth and slightly thickened, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes more. Reduce the heat to low, then whisk in the Cheddar, Dijon, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt until all the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Stir in the reserved cooked noodles, tuna and peas until evenly combined (the mixture should be saucy; it will thicken as it bakes). Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Mix the crushed butter crackers, panko and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium bowl until well combined, then sprinkle evenly over the tuna-noodle mixture. Bake until the topping is well browned and the sauce is bubbling at the edges, about 10 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.

• Spread half the noodles in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared dish. Scatter half of the tuna, mushrooms and peas over the pasta. Pour half of the broth mixture over the top, then sprinkle with 1 cup of the Cheddar. Repeat to make a second layer with the remaining noodles, tuna, mushrooms and peas.
• Cover tightly with foil and bake until the noodles are al dente, about 40 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup Cheddar evenly on top. Bake until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened slightly, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the casserole sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
