  • Protein

    • 🐟 2 (5 ounce) tuna steaks
  • Starch / Pasta

    • 🍝 8 ounces fettuccine noodles
  • Dairy

    • 🧈 6 tablespoons butter, divided
    • 🧀 ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 1 medium onion, diced
    • 🍄 6 ounces sliced portobello mushrooms
  • Pantry Staples

    • ¼ cup flour
    • 🥛 2 ¾ cups milk
    • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon concentrate (such as Better than Bouillon®)
    • ½ teaspoon adobo seasoning
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Bread

    • 🍞 4 slices bread, torn into small pieces

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly oil an ovenproof skillet and an 8x12-inch casserole dish.

2

Place tuna in the prepared skillet and bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 8 to 10 minutes.

3

Fill a large saucepan with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Cook fettuccine until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

4

Remove tuna from the oven; leave the oven on.

5

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.

6

Stir in flour until blended. Add milk, bouillon concentrate, adobo seasoning, and black pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese.

7

Melt remaining butter in the microwave (about 30 seconds). Stir bread crumbs into melted butter and set aside.

8

Add cooked fettuccine and flaked tuna to the cheese sauce and toss to combine.

9

Transfer noodle mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Top with torn bread.

10

Bake in the oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
