Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces gluten-free elbow pasta
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup finely diced onion
  • 1/2 cup finely diced celery
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 (5-ounce) cans tuna in water, drained
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup crushed gluten-free crackers or potato chips for topping (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the gluten-free pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Sprinkle the gluten-free flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for about one minute. Slowly pour in the milk and broth, whisking continuously. Bring to a simmer until thickened.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the frozen peas, drained tuna, 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, and the paprika. Season with salt and pepper. Gently fold in the cooked pasta.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese (and optional crushed crackers) over the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
  • Let the casserole sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
