1 jar (170 mL)marinated artichoke hearts
1/2 cup (125 mL)chopped roasted red pepper
3 cups (750 mL)prepared, light or reduced-fat Alfredo sauce
1 cup (250 mL)milk
2 tsp (10 mL)finely grated lemon zest
1/2 tsp (2 mL)pepper

1/2 cup (125 mL)fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs
1green onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp (15 mL)melted butter

Preparation

1

Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC).

2

Meanwhile, drain the artichokes and chop coarsely. Crumble the tuna into a bowl. Stir in the artichokes and roasted red pepper. Reserve.

3

Cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain well and return to the pot. Stir the Alfredo sauce with the milk, lemon zest, and pepper. Whisk 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the Alfredo mixture into the tuna. Stir the remaining into the macaroni. Heat gently, stirring until warmed through.

4

Divide half of the macaroni mixture between two greased, 9 x 5-inch (2 L) loaf pans. Top each with one half each of the peas; then one half each of the tuna sauce. Top each loaf pan with an equal amount of the remaining macaroni mixture.

5

Toss the breadcrumbs with the butter, green onion and garlic. Sprinkle half the crumb mixture over each casserole. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until bubbly and golden.
