A delightful twist on the classic tuna casserole, featuring a creamy sauce and vibrant vegetables.
Cook the macaroni in boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Adding a pinch of salt to the boiling water enhances the pasta's flavor.
In a saucepan, sauté the celery and onion in butter until softened.
Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the butter.
Stir in the milk and cook until the mixture thickens slightly.
Stir constantly to prevent the milk from scalding.
Combine the cooked macaroni, tuna, pimiento, peas, and the sauce in a large bowl.
Ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and bake at 375°F for 25 minutes.
For a golden crust, broil for the last 2 minutes of baking.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious casserole.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color.
