  • 2tablespoonsbutter
  • 2tablespoonsall-purpose flour
  • 2cupsmilk
  • 1 ½cupsshredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 3teaspoonslemon juice
  • ½teaspoonmustard powder
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 15ouncestuna packed in water, drained and flaked
  • ¼cupdry bread crumbs

  • Directions

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fusilli in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.

    Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, stirring constantly for about 1 minute. Remove from heat and gradually pour in milk, whisking constantly the entire time to avoid lumps from forming. Return to heat and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese. Add lemon juice, mustard powder, salt, and pepper and mix well.

    Drain fusilli and fold into the sauce. Mix in tuna. Pour mixture into an 8-inch casserole dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Top with remaining Cheddar cheese.

    Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and golden, about 30 minutes.
