“My boyfriend grew up loving his mother's tuna casserole and says he can't tell at all that this one is light! We have it at least once a month. I usually serve it with a salad, but it has enough veggies to stand on its own.” Heidi Carofano - Brooklyn, New York

Used 2 cans of tuna instead of 1, as I like more fish. Used 1/3 c each of red, green, yellow, and orange peppers plus 1 slice red onion chopped. Added these to boiling pasta 2 mins before it was done, as I like peppers a little more done. Used spiral pasta as I did not have any yolk free noodles. Also added 2 tbls. of sour cream and eliminated the topping. It was very good and will make again.

I was expecting great robust flavor, based on the previous reviews. It came out, ok but nothing special. Will remove this from my box.

I make this recipe often as a weeknight meal. It is a better version of the tuna cassarole I ate growing up! Very yummy! Don't leave out any ingredients, the roasted red peppers and mushrooms make the dish!

This was very delicious! I will add more veggies next time and add a little more topping! My children had second helpings, which hardly ever happens at their ages! I was very pleased!

I made the recipe using regular rotini noodles, regular cream of mushroom soup, regular milk, regular mayonnaise and fresh red peppers. My family loved it!

This was a yummy recipe... kinda like a homemade Tuna Helper! I have three very skinny boys at home so I used what I had in the house (which was 2% milk and full fat mayo) so my casserole wasn`t exactly `light`but it was delicious! My family enjoyed it and this will be a regular recipe I am sure. Thanks for sharing!

Tried this recipe last night. It was very good. I used peas, fresh mushrooms and whole wheat spiral noodles instead of the yolk-free. The roasted peppers added a nice kick to the traditional tuna casserole recipes I've tried. I served it with whole jalapeños and a Spring Salad with strawberries and balsamic vinegarete. Next time I think I will omit the mayo, but otherwise we really enjoyed this recipe!

This recipe has a wonderful blend of flavor. You can tell it is lighter, but the various spices and the crumb-topping replace any chance of a bland flavor. Highly recommended!
