How to Make Creamy Tuna Pasta Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a large (9x13 inch) casserole dish.
  2. Cook 1 pound pasta according to package directions. Drain well and set aside.
  3. While pasta cooks, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess liquid and set aside to cool.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooled vegetables, 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna (drained), 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  5. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. In the prepared casserole dish, combine the cooked pasta and 4 hard-boiled eggs, sliced.
  7. Add the tuna and vegetable mixture, gently stirring to combine.
  8. Top with 1 1/2 cups crushed cornflakes and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
  10. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh tomato slices (optional).
