Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, drain the rest, and return the noodles to the pot.
  2. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon (15 g) butter in a large skillet over moderate heat.

    Add the white parts of the green onions and celery slices. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes until softened. Add evaporated milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a couple of grinds of pepper.

    Stir in the peas, carrots, and mustard. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Stirring occasionally, cook for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly.

  3. Preheat oven to 200°C. Pour sauce over noodles, stir in sour cream, 1/2 cup cheese, tuna and the remaining pasta cooking water. Transfer to a 1.5-liter baking dish.
  4. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon (15 g) butter. Stir in the breadcrumbs, green onion, celery leaves, and the remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the noodles with this mixture.

    Bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes.
