Creamy Tuna Pasta Bake

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. 2

   Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the fusilli in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until slightly firm, about 12 minutes.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, stirring constantly for about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and slowly pour in the milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Return to the heat and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese. Add the lemon juice, mustard powder, salt, and pepper, and mix well.

4. 4

   Drain the fusilli and fold it into the sauce. Mix in the tuna. Pour the mixture into an 8-inch casserole dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Top with the remaining Cheddar cheese.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and golden, about 30 minutes.
