Ingredients

  • 16 oz egg noodles
  • 8 oz frozen vegetables
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup white wine I used a Chardonnay
  • 1 cup fat free milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 2 cans white albacore tuna drained well
  • 3/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 cup plain Ruffles chips approximately, crushed
  • dried parsley flakes for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Bring large pot of water to a boil. Salt generously and cook egg noodles according to package directions for al dente.
    A colander filled with cooked pasta, green beans, peas, and sliced carrots evokes the essence of a vibrant Tuna Noodle Casserole. In the background, dishes brim with more pasta alongside small bowls of black pepper and grated cheese.
  • In the last 2 minutes of cooking, stir in frozen vegetables. Drain, rinse with cold water and set aside.
  • Replace hot pot back to medium heat. Melt butter, then whisk in flour. Cook 1 minute.
    A pot of creamy pasta with vegetables and crumbled potato chips on top. A serving spoon rests inside. A small bowl of potato chips, a fork, a plate, and garnishes are nearby.
  • Slowly whisk in chicken stock and wine. Sauce should form and start to thicken. Simmer for 3 minutes to cook out alcohol in the wine. Continue whisking to avoid getting lumps.
  • Stir in milk, cream, poultry seasoning, salt and black pepper. Cook on medium low heat for another 3 minutes.
  • Stir in cooked noodles and veggies.
  • Add in tuna and parmesan cheese and stir.
  • Top with crushed chips and parsley flakes, and serve.
