1/2 cup butter, divided
230 grams egg noodles
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
230 grams mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
salt and pepper to taste
2 cans tuna, drained
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
3 tablespoons bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 190 degrees C. Butter a large baking dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
Melt 2 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, celery, garlic, and mushrooms and cook until tender and until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Add 2 more tablespoons of butter to the mushroom pan, stir in flour. Gradually stir in milk, and continue cooking 5 minutes, until sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in tuna, peas, and cooked noodles. Transfer to the baking dish. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl, mix with bread crumbs, and sprinkle over the casserole. Top with cheese.
Bake 25 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned.
