Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden to form a roux.
Step 4
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Add the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 5
Add the cream cheese and stir until completely melted and smooth. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Step 6
Fold in the tuna, frozen peas, and cooked spaghetti to evenly coat with the creamy sauce.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top.
Step 8
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the mozzarella layer.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Creamy Cheesy Easy Tuna Tetrazzini!
