Ingredients
- 3 (2.5 oz) Chicken of the Sea® Wild Caught Light Tuna Packets with OLD BAY Seasoning
- 8 oz uncooked macaroni pasta
- 1/4 cup butter, plus more for buttering baking dish
- 2 Tablespoons flour
- 1 1/2 cups non-fat milk
- 2 cups low-fat cheddar cheese, grated (8 oz.)
- 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- minced parsley, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter a 2.5 qt baking dish. Boil pasta to al dente according to package instructions.
- While the macaroni pasta is cooking, prepare the cheese and milk mixture. In large pot on medium heat, melt the butter. Then add flour, whisking quickly to combine, breaking up all the flour clumps. Add milk, whisking to dissolve the flour completely.
- Bring to a gently boil and thicken sauce. Remove from heat.
- Add cheddar cheese and about 1/2 cup of the parmesan cheese (reserve remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese for topping).
- Stir until cheese is melted.
- Drain your cooked pasta and add to cheese mixture. Add 2 of the OLD BAY tuna packets. Gently mix together and pour into baking dish.
- Combine the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Top the pasta with the remaining pouch of OLD BAY tuna and the breadcrumb/parmesan mixture.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted with a nice, golden crust.
- Top with minced parsley.
