KITTENCAL'S TUNA-SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
• Chop the spaghetti coarsely. (I usually chop about 4-inches but it does not have to be exact).
• Cook the spaghetti until firm-tender (do not overcook the pasta!) drain and toss with 1-2 tablespoons butter or oil to prevent sticking.
• In a saucepan melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat (can use a couple tablespoons more butter if desired, I always do!) add in the sliced mushrooms and cook stirring until they release their moisture (about 6 minutes).
• Add in onion, garlic and cayenne pepper; sauté for about 3 minutes.
• Add in flour and chicken bouillon powder; mix with a wooden spoon for about 1-2 minutes (the mixture will be slightly "clumpy").
• Stir in the broth and cream; bring to a light boil over medium heat whisking continuously until smooth and thickened.
• Turn off heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese (or cheddar cheese if using) mix to combine until melted.
• Season sauce with salt and black pepper (I use seasoned salt).
• Add the cooked cream mixture to the cooked spaghetti; toss well to combine, then add in the tuna, green bell pepper and egg yolks; mix very well to combine.
• Transfer the mixture to a prepared baking dish.
• Top with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes in a 350°F oven (oven rack set to second-lowest position).
• If desired you may sprinkle about 1 cup (or more) grated cheddar cheese on top after baking but that is only optional.
• DELICIOUS!
