Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb dry pasta, shaped (I use Catelli Smart but you can use whole wheat or whatever you prefer)
2 (6 ounce) cans tuna in water (flaked or chunk, drained)
1 (10 ounce) can reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup, condensed
1 (10 ounce) can mushrooms, sliced, drained
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper
1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

Boil pasta in salted water, as directed. While pasta is cooking, spray a 2 quart casserole with nonstick spray; open cans of tuna, soup and mushrooms.
Drain pasta, return to pot and add all other ingredients. Mix well and pour into casserole dish. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top.
Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes. You just need the casserole to heat through. Remove from oven when cheese has completely melted and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups rotini pasta (or other shaped pasta, I use a high fibre version)
olive oil, for spritzer
2 cups mushrooms, chopped
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped (about 1 stalk)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (3 ounce) can tuna, lightly drained
1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup fresh breadcrumb, coarsely ground

Steps:

Cook pasta as directed. Preheat oven to 400°F.
While waiting for the water to boil, add mushrooms, onion, celery and garlic to a nonstick pan sprayed with olive oil. Saute over medium heat until just tender. The moisture from the veggies will keep them from sticking.
While cooking the pasta, stir tuna, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper into the pan. Remove from heat and add cheddar cheese.
When pasta is al dente, stir into pan. Pour into a casserole dish sprayed with olive oil. Cover with bread crumbs.
Cook for 15 minutes. The higher heat will ensure that you have some crunch to the bread crumbs.
