CHEESY TUNA AND ZUCCHINI NOODLE CASSEROLE
A keto-style mock macaroni and cheese turned into a meal. Substituting zucchini (zoodles) for noodles and adding tuna turns this traditional casserole into a low-carb, super delicious experience! No matter the choice of protein this is simple and delicious!

Steps:
- Place spiralized zucchini (zoodles) into a pot and cover with well salted water; bring to a boil. Boil for 3 to 4 minutes, then empty into a colander to drain. Let drain for 2 to 3 hours, occasionally pressing out as much moisture as you can.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch glass casserole with cooking spray and add drained zoodles.
- Bake zoodles in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add cream cheese and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
- Remove zoodles from the oven and pour off any liquid. Add the skillet mixture to the zoodles, along with tuna, peas, Cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined. Sprinkle almonds on top.
- Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

HEARTY ZUCCHINI AND TUNA CASSEROLE
This is a nice change from the traditional tuna casserole. You can substitute canned salmon for the tuna and can also make this without the zucchini (or use some mixed veggies or broccoli instead). My young daughters love this recipe (as long as I peel the zucchini before putting it in the casserole)!

TUNA ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE
A different way to enjoy tuna casserole. I am not a huge zucchini fan but my hubby insists on planting them every year. This is one way we enjoy them.
