Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350℉
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for approximately 3 minutes, until just softened. Add the garlic clove and cook for 1 additional minute. Remove the onions and garlic and place in a medium bowl.
Return the pan to the heat and add the mushrooms. Cook until browned on both sides and glistening. The onions should not be watery. If so, cook a little while longer until the water evaporates. Place the mushrooms in the bowl with the onions.
Make the Sauce
Return the skillet to the stove and add the remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan. Heat over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk for 3 minutes until the flour and oil starts to bubble.
Slowly add the vegetable broth, whisking while adding it. Continue whisking to get a creamy sauce without any lumps. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and 1/2 the dill. Continue whisking for another minute. Your sauce should be creamy and smooth.
Cook the Pasta and Broccoli
Bring water to a boil in a large stock pot or saucepan. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions. (About 10 - 12 minutes)When the pasta has 2 minutes left to boil, add the broccoli florets to the water to cook. Drain the pasta and broccoli and return it to the stockpot
Assemble the Pasta Bake
Pour the creamy lemon dill sauce over the pasta and broccoli. Add the mushrooms and onions and mix well.
Open the tuna and gently stir the tuna and any oil into the pasta mixture, being careful to not break up the tuna too much.
Pour the pasta and sauce into a 9x13 casserole dish. Place it in the middle of the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, until it is bubbling.
Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and the remaining chopped dill, if desired.
