Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) box Barilla® Gluten Free Rotini

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • 1 cup diced yellow onion

  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed

  • 1 (10 ounce) package baby spinach

  • 2 cups heavy cream

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

  • 2 (6 ounce) tuna packed in oil, drained

  • ½ cup Italian style gluten free bread crumbs

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a pan and sauté onions over high heat until slightly translucent, about 4 minutes. Adjust heat to medium. Add peas and spinach and cook until spinach is wilted.

  3. Add cream to onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Gently fold in 2/3 of the cheese. Remove from heat.

  4. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain pasta and toss with cream sauce and tuna.

  5. Place pasta mixture in a 9x13-inch baking dish and top with remaining cheese, gluten-free bread crumbs, remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until bread crumbs turn crispy and golden, about 10 minutes.
