(46)
  • Number of Servings: 8
Ingredients
1 can Kroger Clear Chicken Broth (Fat Free and Less Sodium)4 oz Fred Meyer Whole-Wheat Penne Rigate2 cups Onions, raw, chopped2 cups Celery, raw, diced 6.5 cups Broccoli, fresh, chopped1 can 98% Fat Free Campbell's Cream of chicken Soup2 cups Peas, frozen2 cans Chunk Light Tuna in Water2.5 cups Kroger Colby and Monterrey Jack Cheese (self-shredded)
Directions
Boil pasta in chicken broth***

Preheat oven to 350F.

Spray large fry pan with Pam (or off brand version), dice onion, add to pan on medium heat. Slice celery and broccoli, add to pan. When onions look soft, cover pan with lid, stir occasionally.

Pour cream of chicken into large mixing bowl with the two cans of semi-drained tuna. Mix together with the two cups of peas and drained pasta (I don't add chicken broth, just toss out).

Pour or spoon in veggie mix from the fry pan into the cream of chicken mix and mix well, making sure to scrape bottom of bowl. Add two of the cups of shredded cheese and mix well.

Spoon mix into sprayed casserole dish and top with remain half cup of cheese. Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes with lid on. Then bake for an additional 5-10 minutes with lid off till top is slightly browned.

Makes 8 good sized servings (and great left overs for the next day too!)

***(Pasta will absorb about 1 cup of broth, leaving additional cup to be tossed out, therefore calories are figured upon 1 cup of broth)

     This was absolutely delicious! I'm super full now! I like how cheesy it turned out and the family loved it. I recalculated this dish using my own ingredients and the sodium was 422mg and carbs were 11.45. I would recommend recalculating depending your use of ingredients. - 2/27/10

     This was very good and full of vegies. I will probably put more tuna in next time, even though that will add a few more calories... - 10/13/11

     This was soo yummy! I added lean chopped bacon to the pan when frying the onion & veggies and it come out with a lovely smokey flavour which really went well with it. Bacon needs to be added to nutrition plan seperately of course. - 9/23/11

     I made this recipe for the entire family and everyone loved it. My bf said it could have used some seasoning and I agree. I would have like to make it spicy too. I used a broccoli, cauliflower and corn mix too. - 9/26/09

     Loved the recipe even though I didn't use it fully it's a good base to start with. I added a lot if different veggies added some spice for flavor and it was delicious. - 5/30/17

     I see that this recipes makes 8 servings but it does not state a single serving size amount. - 3/14/16

     I have tweaked the recipe to reduce the sodium, but this recipe has made it to our master list. Great taste. - 2/17/16

     This recipe is really good!! I used all natural cream of mushroom since I do not like to use processed soup and used cheddar cheese since I think that it is healthier. - 10/8/14

     My husband loves Tuna Noodle casserole this was not quite as creamy as he request but he was more than happy with it knowing it was healthy, I loved it. - 3/22/13

     This is a great clean out the fridge recipe. I use blood thinner, so I reduced the amount of broccoli to 12 oz., and replaced the remainder with 1 each, green, red, and yellow peppers, 7 mushrooms, a handful of black olives, and 2 slices tomato. Yes, I cleaned out the fridge. - 10/22/12

     I found this dish to be kind of bland. The recipe made so much that I was forced to eat it for dinner one night and for lunch two days after that. It was incredibly filling, and easy to make. - 9/5/11
