Creamy Tuna Penne Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare the pasta using the package directions, omitting the salt. Drain well in a colander. Set aside.

• Preheat the broiler if using the topping.
• Put the cornstarch in a cup. Add the water, whisking to dissolve. Set aside.
• Whisk the milk, parsley, curry powder, salt, onion powder, and pepper into the onion. Cook, still over medium-high heat, for 5 minutes, or until the milk mixture is hot.
• Gently whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Continue to gently whisk for 3 to 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat.
• Stir in the beans, tomatoes, tuna, and pasta.
• In a small bowl, stir together the panko and margarine. Sprinkle over the casserole.
• Broil about 4 inches from the heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the topping is browned.
• Cook's Tip on Cornstarch
• Cornstarch needs gentle treatment. Too much heat or stirring will cause a cornstarch-thickened sauce to become thin.
