  • cooking spray
  • 2 cups whole-grain bow-tie pasta
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms
  • 0.5 cup chopped onion
  • 0.33333334326744 cup chopped celery

Instructions:
  • - Preheat your oven to a toasty 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), then give your 2-quart baking dish a nice coat of nonstick spray.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a lively boil. Cook bow-tie pasta until al dente, about 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms, onion, celery, bell pepper, and carrot until tender, about 8 minutes.
  • Combine Alfredo sauce, sour cream, 2 tablespoons Parmesan, dill, and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix in cooked pasta, vegetables, and tuna until well blended. Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish, then top with a mixture of panko and the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Lightly spray with nonstick spray before baking.
  • Place in the oven that has been preheated, without covering, and bake until golden brown and bubbling, approximately 25 minutes. Accompany with lemon wedges for serving.
