Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 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

Recipe

• 1 cook pasta as directed. preheat oven to 400°f.
• 2 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.
• 3 while cooking the pasta, stir tuna, sour cream, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper into the pan. remove from heat and add cheddar cheese.
• 4 when pasta is al dente, stir into pan. pour into a casserole dish sprayed with olive oil. cover with bread crumbs.
• 5 cook for 15 minutes. the higher heat will ensure that you have some crunch to the bread crumbs.
