Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a 13"x9" pan or two 8" square pans.
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add peppers, season with salt and pepper, and saute until crisp-tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add flour, and cook and stir about 1 minute. Gradually add milk to pan, stirring well after each addition to avoid lumps. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a simmer and thickens slightly.
Meanwhile, cook noodles in a large pot of boiling water for 2 minutes short of recommended cooking time. Drain and set aside.
After sauce has simmered and noodles are cooked, add both to a large bowl along with artichokes, green onions, and tuna. Pour into serving dish(es). Top with Parmesan cheese.
Bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven for 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly.
To Freeze:
Prepare up until baking. Let cool to room temperature and cover with foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. To bake from frozen, bake covered at 400 degrees F for 2 hours. Uncover, and bake another 20 minutes. To bake from thawed (overnight in refrigerator), bake covered for 30 minutes. Uncover, and bake another 20 minutes.
