This is a quick, economical dish that is also easy on the waistline. Not only that, it tastes good too! You can prepare it ahead of time and add the crumbs just before popping it in the oven but allow a few minutes longer in the oven to make sure it is piping hot.

SERVES 2 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups egg noodles (use no-yolk noodles if you want)
1 tablespoon margarine, divided
1/2 cup celery
1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
1 cup low fat cottage cheese
1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1 (6 1/2 ounce) can tuna in water, drained
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
6 soda crackers, coarsely crumbled
salt and pepper

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 425°F degrees.
2
Cook noodles, drain and set aside.
3
While the noodles are cooking in a skillet melt half the margarine over medium heat sauté the onions and celery until tender about 7 minutes; set aside.
4
In a bowl combine; cottage cheese and mayonnaise.
5
Stir in noodles and celery, onions, tuna, and Worcestershire sauce.
6
Salt and pepper to your taste.
7
Put noodle mixture in a 1 1/4-quart casserole dish.
8
Sprinkle with crumbs and dot with remaining margarine.
9
Bake until it turns golden brown (about 25 minutes).
10
Serve immediately.

I followed the recipe as stated but added some no-salt seasoning. It is nice and creamy and the worcestershire sauce adds a nice zip to the dish.

This was easy to put together and looked very nice when it came out of the oven but was way too BLAND. I omitted the celery but otherwise made as written. It may prove to be a good base recipe to tweak but I don't think we'll put in the time or effort to make it again.

I'm so happy to have found this recipe. Since my husband's heart 'incident' last April we've had to make drastic changes in our diet and I've really missed and craved tuna noodle casserole. I used 'no yolk' noodles and instead of low-fat mayo I used 'Veganaise', which is a really terrific tasting mayonnaise that is completely egg-free, dairy-free and no cholesterol (I highly recommend it, I found it in the dairy case at Whole Foods). I did use the soda crackers but next time plan on trying this with Panko sprinkled on top. Oh, I didn't use margarine, I used Earth Balance Buttery sticks, which is also 100% vegan and has no trans fatty acids (very bad for you but I'll stop the lecture) I'm so happy that I got my tuna noodle casserole 'Fix' and kept it healthy for my husband. BTW, you can now buy albacore tuna as very low in sodium so using that makes this even healthier for people battling high blood pressure, etc. (OK, now I'll REALLY stop the lecture!!) Thanks so much for this recipe Bergy!

This is a real keeper. From the ratings I expected it to be good but honestly I was wowed. Even DH enjoyed a serving. The flavor is truly helped by the worcestershire which is something I have never added to T.N.C. before. It adds a wonderful depth that is something often missing in tuna noodle. I made a 4 serving amount and 4 servings is exactly what I got.
