Skinny Tuna Noodle Casserole

Skinny Tuna Noodle Casserole

A skinnier twist on the classic tuna casserole made with homemade lower-fat sauce (and no canned soups necessary)!

Ingredients

  • medium egg noodles
    10 oz
  • unsalted butter
    1 tbsp
  • shallot
    1
  • baby bella mushrooms
    8 oz
  • peas
    1 ½ c
  • all-purpose flour
    5 tbsp
  • low-sodium chicken broth
    2 c
  • 1% milk
    1 ⅓ c
  • white wine
    2 tbsp
  • low-fat cheddar cheese
    5 oz
  • cans tuna

    5-ounce

    2
  • salt and pepper
  • olive oil
    1 tbsp
  • Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
    ⅓ c
  • cooking spray

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain when cooked.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. While the pasta is cooking, Add the butter to a saute pan over medium high heat. Add the shallot and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the diced mushrooms and peas and cook for another 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the flour to the vegetables and stir until well-coated in the flour. Stir in the chicken broth, milk, and the wine (if using). Lower the heat to medium low. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the sauce thickens. Stir in the cheddar cheese until melted. Then, add the cooked egg noodles and tuna to the pan. Stir until combined.

  4. 4

    Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Transfer the noodle mixture to the baking dish. In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil and bread crumbs. Sprinkle the bread crumbs on top of the casserole (if the breadcrumbs seem dry, spray with additional cooking spray).

  5. 5

    Bake uncovered for approximately 25 minutes until the casserole is bubbly. To fully brown the breadcrumbs, switch oven to broil and broil for 1-2 minutes until the top is golden. Remove from the oven. Serve.
