QUICK AND EASY STOVE-TOP TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cook the egg noodles.
• During the last few minutes add the frozen peas to the simmering noodles; then drain.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
• Whisk in the flour, and continue whisking for about 2 minutes or until the flour butter mixture starts to turn a beige color (a very light colored roux).
• Continue whisking and slowly add 1 of the cups of milk, incorporating the liquid as you whisk; then add the remaining 1 cup of milk.
• Let it come to a gentle boil, stirring regularly to keep from burning on the bottom of the pan as it thickens.
• When it's thick enough to coat a spoon and leave a strip behind where you ran your finger through the coating on the spoon, it's ready to add the drained tuna.
• Break up the solid tuna chunks with a fork and mix throughout the sauce.
• Add the salt, pepper, and any seasonings or herbs.
• Pour the tuna sauce over the noodles and peas, and serve.
