Imitation Crab Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients

cooking spray
1/2 pound seashell pasta
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of onion soup
1 slice shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
1 cup milk
1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
6 tablespoons butter, divided
4 cups chopped fresh broccoli
1 pound imitation crabmeat, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in pasta and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 11 minutes. Drain.
Combine cream of onion soup, Cheddar cheese, milk, and mayonnaise in a large bowl.
Heat 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add broccoli; cook and stir until just tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
Transfer broccoli to onion soup mixture; stir in pasta, imitation crabmeat, and tomatoes. Spread mixture into prepared baking dish. Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and remaining butter together in a small bowl; sprinkle over crabmeat mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven until brown and bubbly, 35 to 45 minutes.
