Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

02

Step
11 mins

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain.

03

Step
5 mins

While the egg noodles are cooking, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, peas, and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne.

04

Step
3 mins

Sprinkle flour over the vegetables; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add milk and chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.

05

Step
0 mins

Add drained egg noodles to the vegetable mixture, along with Cheddar cheese, tuna, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, parsley, dill, chives, and lemon juice; stir until well combined.

06

Step
0 mins

Combine remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan with panko and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Sprinkle over the casserole.

07

Step
18 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, 17 to 19 minutes.

For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of Gruyere and white Cheddar cheese.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will provide a superior flavor and texture compared to pre-grated.
Don't overcook the noodles; they should be slightly underdone as they will continue to cook in the casserole.
If you don't have panko bread crumbs, regular bread crumbs can be used, but the texture will be slightly different.

    I added some red pepper flakes for a bit of heat, and it was fantastic!

    I didn't have fresh dill, so I used dried, and it still tasted great.
