Ingredients
 
 

For vegan tuna:

  • 1 can chickpeas drained
  • ½ stalk celery finely chopped
  • 1 green onion finely chopped
  • ½ red onion chopped
  • 30 g vegan mayonnaise
  • 50 g Nori seaweed flakes can be found as a snack at Asian stores
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed oil it has a "fishy" taste and smell
  • 40 ml water
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic
  • salt and pepper

For the casserole:

  • 250 g fusilli pasta cooked according to the instructions on the package; you can use GF if you want
  • 1 cup peas frozen
  • 300 ml condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup cashew milk
  • 1 cup vegan cheddar cheese grated
  • ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs use GF if needed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

Prepare the "tuna":

  • In a bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork. Don't puree it, you want it flaky and slightly chunky in texture. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add finely chopped celery, red onion, green onion and Nori flakes.
  • In a blender, combine vegan mayonnaise, water, vinegar, flaxseed oil and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add this sauce to the chickpea mash and mix well.
  • Place the fake tuna mixture in a bowl, cover and set aside.

For the casserole:

  • Heat the oven to 180 C (356F).
  • Put the cooked pasta in a bowl, add the peas, the vegan tuna, the canned mushroom soup, milk and grated cheddar. Stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer the mixture to a casserole greased with oil.
  • In a small bowl, mix the Panko breadcrumbs and olive oil and sprinkle over the pasta mixture.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, until it browns on top and forms a crispy layer.
