Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Cook egg noodles as per directions on the package, minus two minutes. Add the frozen peas to the boiling water two minutes before draining. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Melt butter over med-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook (without stirring too much) until golden brown and slightly crispy, 8-10 minutes.
- Add flour and stir constantly. Slowly pour in the milk and whisk constantly so there are no lumps. Add Tamari. Reduce for 4 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Taste the sauce and add any salt and pepper, if needed.
- Slowly add half of the cheese while continuing to stir. Add in tuna. Mix in the cooked noodles and peas and toss until everything is combined.
- Add everything to a greased casserole dish and bake for 30 minutes, adding the remaining cheese halfway through cooking time.
