Ingredients

6 servings

For the casserole

12 oz gluten free egg noodles
1 can (14 oz) canned champignon mushrooms, drained and rinsed
3 cans (5 oz each) tuna packed in water, drained
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Chef's tip
If the dish is baked or melted, cover it or keep the heat gentle - dairy-free shreds melt more slowly than dairy cheese.

For the sauce

3 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
2 tbsp garlic-infused oil
½ cup scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
⅓ cup gluten free flour
2 cups milk
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's the most reliable milk swap and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods; for hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
1 ½ cups chicken broth
1 tsp dijon mustard
½ tsp fine salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For the topping

¾ cup gluten free breadcrumbs
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.

For serving

2 tbsp scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten free egg noodles according to package directions until just barely al dente — they should still have a firm bite at the center, as they will continue cooking in the oven. Drain in a colander and set aside.
2
In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tbsp butter with the garlic-infused oil over medium heat until the butter is foamy. Add the scallion green tops and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
