Servings: 6 to 8 servings · Yield: Serves 6 · Prep 10 min · Cook 40 min · Total 50 min
Noodles, tuna and cheese baked under a potato chip topping.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Cook the noodles and broccoli
In a large (6-quart) pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add a tablespoon of salt:
1 tablespoon salt
Return to a boil, then add:
12 ounces wide egg noodles
Cook uncovered on high heat on a rolling boil. Just before pasta is al dente (firm but cooked through, earliest cooking time minus 2 minutes), add the broccoli:
2 cups chopped broccoli (about 1/2 pound)
Cook for 2 more minutes. Drain in a colander and set aside.
Saute the mushrooms
While the pasta is cooking, dry saute in a frying pan on medium-high heat:
8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
Add no butter or oil; the mushrooms cook in their own juices. When the mushrooms have given up their moisture (about 5 to 10 minutes), remove from heat and set aside.
Cook the onion
When the pasta is draining in a colander, heat a large oven-proof pan on medium heat. Add and melt:
2 tablespoons butter
Add the onion and cook until translucent:
1 medium onion, chopped
Combine all the ingredients
Put the pasta and broccoli mixture back into the pot. Stir in the mushrooms and:
2 (6-ounce) cans tuna, drained
1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
2 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon cream
Add salt and pepper to taste:
Salt and pepper, to taste
Top with the crushed potato chips
Spread over the top of the mixture:
1 cup crushed potato chips
Bake
Cook for 20 minutes in the oven at 400°F, until the topping has browned.
