SERVES

COOK TIME
45 Min

Here's one that won't get away! It even survives reheating in the oven or the microwave. Oh, it's especially good with a bowl of soup on rainy days.

What You'll Need

  • 8 ounces uncooked pasta shells
  • 1 (10 ¾ ounce) can reduced-fat condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 1/2 cup low-fat milk
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen peas and carrots, thawed and drained
  • 1 (6 ounce) can water-packed tuna, drained and flaked
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/3 cup cornflake crumbs

What to Do

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
     
  2. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain, rinse, drain again, and place in a large bowl.
     
  3. In a small bowl, combine soup and milk; add to pasta along with remaining ingredients except cornflake crumbs. Spoon into prepared casserole dish.
     
  4. Sprinkle with cornflake crumbs and bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until browned and heated through.

Notes

Have the kids make a ship's "mast" of fresh-cut veggies. Then watch how they sail through lunch or dinner!

Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

I made this tonight with a few alterations based on what I had around. I didn't have just frozen peas and carrots, so I used a mix that had peas, carrots, corn, and green beans. Instead of cornflake crumbs, I used reduced fat wheat thins that I crushed as small as I could. I also wanted to give it a bit more flavor, so I added paprika, chili powder, and garlic salt. It was delicious and comforting, and I'd definitely make this again!

I'd like to try this recipe with canned chicken instead of tuna and make a low fat milk white sauce to replace the cream of mushroom soup.

I wish they would give the calories with the recipes

Me too, My husband has high Cholestrol! Ann!

Calories are not hard to fiqure out. Just add up the calories of each item, and there ya go! You can find the calories listed on the nutrition labels, or go to an online website that has the calorie counts of various foods.

You know what? That was really good! I did have to adjust a few things (powered milk, green beans instead of peas & carrots, added dried minced onion). Thanks for dinner, Mr. Food!
