Ingredients

  • 3 cups rotini pasta (or other shaped pasta, I use a high fibre version)
  • olive oil, for spritzer
  • 2 cups mushrooms, chopped
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery, chopped (about 1 stalk)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (3 ounce) can tuna, lightly drained
  • 1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 cup fresh breadcrumb, coarsely ground

Method

  • Cook pasta as directed. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • While waiting for the water to boil, add mushrooms, onion, celery and garlic to a nonstick pan sprayed with olive oil. Saute over medium heat until just tender. The moisture from the veggies will keep them from sticking.
  • While cooking the pasta, stir tuna, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper into the pan. Remove from heat and add cheddar cheese.
  • When pasta is al dente, stir into pan. Pour into a casserole dish sprayed with olive oil. Cover with bread crumbs.
  • Cook for 15 minutes. The higher heat will ensure that you have some crunch to the bread crumbs.
