“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

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!

This was awesome. I will make it again. I also added some cheddar cheese and I added frozen peas instead of red pepper. My husband loved it too.Vicky

This was very good except for next time I will leave out the mushrooms and add a mix of different vegetables. I will also be adding cheddar cheese.

I love this recipe. Even my very picky 6-yr old loved it (except the breading which I'll leave off on half of it next time). Easy and a nice variation from regular tuna casserole.
