Ingredients:

Serving

5 slices whole-wheat bread , crusts included
1 tbsp canola oil
1 small onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
1 celery stalk, finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
10 oz white mushroom, stemmed and chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
6 cups milk , 1% lowfat
2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 lb ronzoni healthy harvest extra wide noodles and cooked according to package directions
10 oz frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
10 oz frozen peas, thawed
24 oz chunk light tuna in water, drained

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Place bread in food processor and pulse for 30 seconds into bread crumbs (makes about 2 1/2 to 3 cups crumbs).
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until onions are soft and translucent, 8 minutes.
Add celery and cook, stirring, until just tender, 6 minutes.
Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until mushrooms release their water, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add flour all at once and stir immediately and vigorously with a wooden spoon until flour is completely incorporated into vegetable mixture until there are no flour lumps.
Add milk and broth, stir to combine and bring mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to a vigorous simmer and cook, stirring, until liquid has thickened and reduced by about 1/2 cup, 7 to 8 minutes.
Add salt and pepper and stir to combine.
Combine cooked pasta, vegetable-liquid mixture, broccoli, peas and tuna and toss to incorporate.
Pour into a 9 by 13-inch casserole. Top with bread crumbs.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until crumbs are golden brown and toasted.
