Ingredients

• 12 oz egg noodles
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 cans (5 oz each), drained canned tuna
• 2 tbsp, freshly chopped parsley
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 cup, grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking continually to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Add the drained tuna, and mix gently to combine.

Step 7

Toss the cooked egg noodles with the sauce until fully coated. Add the freshly chopped parsley and stir to distribute evenly.

Step 8

Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
