Enjoy a comforting family-favorite with our recipe for Cheesy Tuna Casserole. We even snuck in some good-for-ya veggies to make this tuna casserole healthier. Even those picky eaters will gobble it right up!

What You'll Need

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 8 ounces whole grain rotini or other favorite shape pasta
  • 1 (14-3/4-ounce) can reduced-fat, low sodium cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 1/2 cup skim milk
  • 1 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat white Cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 (5-ounce) cans water packed tuna, drained well
  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed

What to Do

  1. Coat a 3-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add cauliflower and cook 8 minutes. Stir in pasta and continue to cook 7 to 8 minutes, or until both are tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, combine soup, milk, cheese, onion powder, and black pepper; mix well and heat over medium heat 5 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients along with cooked pasta and continue to cook 5 minutes, or until hot.

Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

I am really lazy...I serve it straight from the pot...no broiling....YUMMM!!

This is VERY easy to make, but I personally think it needs 2 cups pasta. This came out runny, albeit TASTY! The extra pasta would hold the liquid better and make it more casserole-y. It IS a very good recipe otherwise.

yummy! Can't go wrong with these ingredients though

Delicious, quick and easy
