Quick Tuna Tortellini Gratin
- 1 (9 ounce) packagerefrigerated cheese-filled egg tortellini
- 1 12 cups frozen broccoli florets
- 1 (10 ounce) container alfredo sauce (refrigerated kind, the jar kind, 10 oz. of homemade, or probably even the dry mix if you cooked it u)
- 1 (7 ounce) package solid white tuna (the dry pack is my favorite but 6 oz. of drained canned tuna works fine too)
- 1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 14 cup Italian style breadcrumbs
- garlic or garlic powder, to taste
- Preheat oven to broil.
- Cook tortellini according to package directions and add the broccoli florets during the last 4 minutes of cooking.
- Drain and return to pan.
- Note: It's ok if the broccoli is still very crunchy at this point because it will cook more after the sauce is added.
- Add Alfredo sauce and tuna and mix well.
- If you are using the dry-packed tuna, break up large chunks as you stir.
- Cook over medium heat until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally.
- Add garlic after the addition of sauce and tuna, if desired.
- Spoon mixture into an ungreased shallow casserole dish.
- Sprinkle bread crumbs over top of casserole and dot with butter or drizzle with oil (I have an oil sprayer that I like to use to distribute the oil over the crumbs evenly).
- Broil casserole 4 to 6 inches from heat for about 3 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
