Ingredients

• 12 oz egg noodles
• 10 oz canned tuna (drained)
• 3 tbsp butter
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 8 oz mushrooms (sliced)
• 1 small onion (diced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and release their moisture.

Step 4

Remove the mushroom mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the milk and broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 7

Stir the mushroom mixture back into the skillet. Add the grated parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.

Step 8

Flake the drained tuna into the sauce and gently stir to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Step 9

Add the cooked noodles to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
