Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

4. 4

   Sprinkle flour over the vegetables; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add milk and chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.

5. 5

   Add drained egg noodles to the vegetable mixture, along with Cheddar cheese, tuna, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, parsley, dill, chives, and lemon juice; stir until well combined.

6. 6

   Combine remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan with panko and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Sprinkle over the casserole.

7. 7

   Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, 17 to 19 minutes.
