Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Cook pasta according to directions on the package minus two minutes. It should be a little undercooked as it will continue to cook in the oven. Rinse under cold water to halt the cooking.
- Melt ½ tbsp of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and anchovy fillets and cook until translucent. Add garlic, olives, and lemon juice and continue to cook for 2-5 minutes. Remove mixture from skillet.
- Melt remaining 3 ½ tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Slowly add in flour while whisking constantly. After 2 minutes, slowly add half and half continuing to whisk until a thick roux is formed. Add half of the parmesan and half of the gruyere slowly while continuing to whisk.
- Add the cooked pasta, tuna, and sauteed vegetables to the sauce. Mix everything well and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the pasta mixture into a casserole dish and bake for 15 minutes. Pull casserole out of the oven, top with remaining cheese and panko, then drizzle with olive oil and bake for another 15 minutes.
- Garnish with thyme.
