Tuned-Up Tuna Casserole

• 4 ounces whole-wheat pasta such as fusilli or bow tie
• 1 medium onion, chopped (approx. 1?2 cup)
• 1 cup broccoli florets (about 1" in diameter)
• 1/4 cups nonfat milk
• 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon each cornstarch and whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons shredded low-sodium cheddar cheese
• 5 ounces can tuna (in water), drained
• 2 sardines, drained and chopped
• 1/4 cups black olives, pitted and sliced

1. Pre-heat oven to 350. Cook pasta in 2 cups water until tender - drain and let cool, retaining water.
2. Saute onion, 2 mushrooms and broccoli in 2 tablespoons pasta water until onions are transparent and lightly browned, approx. 5 minutes. If necessary, add 2-3 more tablespoons of the pasta water. Set aside to cool.
3. Finely chop the remaining mushroom and lightly saute in 1 tablespoon pasta water until water evaporates, about 2 minutes.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, chicken broth, cornstarch, whole-wheat flour and oregano. Then, add to sauteed mushroom. Simmer until thickened and then thin with the remaining pasta water until it has the consis- tency of gravy.
5. Place the noodles, tuna, sardines, olives, vegetable mixture and cheese (except 2 tablespoons), in a large bowl. Toss thoroughly. Add mushroom sauce and mix again. Place in oiled 8- inch square baking dish. Top with remaining cheddar cheese and bake for 30 minutes. Serve.
