  • Directions

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick spray.

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.

    Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, celery, bell pepper, and carrot; cook until vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes.

    Whisk together Alfredo sauce, sour cream, 2 tablespoons Parmesan, dill, and black pepper in a large bowl. Stir in cooked pasta, vegetables, and tuna until combined. Transfer to the prepared dish. In a small bowl, stir together panko and remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan; sprinkle over casserole. Lightly coat with nonstick spray.

    Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until browned and bubbly, about 25 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.



    Cook's Notes:

    Substitute whole wheat rotini pasta (5 ounces) for the bow-ties if desired.

    You can use 1/2 teaspoon dried dill instead of fresh.
