Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked whole wheat noodles (macaroni was used in this recipe, egg noodles also will work)
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms, white or button (wipe clean)
- 2 (4.5 ounce) cans solid white Albacore Tuna in water, shredded (add tuna and water)
- 1 cup frozen green peas
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened, low fat
- 1/2 cup low fat milk
- 2 cups 2% cheddar cheese, shredded (recommend block cheese)
Directions
Preheat over to 375 degrees.
Cook noodles according instructions on the package or al dente.
In a medium skillet add oil and sauté onions and mushrooms over medium-low heat until mushrooms
begin to release moisture, about 10 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine sautéed onions and mushrooms and all remaining ingredients, reserving 1 cup cheddar cheese for the top.
Add the tuna mixture to a 3 quart casserole dish or 9" baking pan, top with 1/2 cup of remaining cheddar cheese. Bake 15 minutes covered and 10 minutes uncovered, or until cheese is hot and bubbly.
