Tofu Shirataki Tuna Noodle Casserole Recipe

Did you know you it’s possible to get your tuna noodle casserole fix minus the carbs and all the fat, and have it taste just as good? What?! Crazy you might think but I’m telling you this recipe is so good you’ll want to double it and save some for later! The main difference between a classic tuna noodle casserole and this healthy version are the noodles being used – fettuccine style tofu shirataki noodles instead of classic wheat flour pasta. And boy are they yummy!

If you are unfamiliar with shirataki noodles, they are noodles made from konjac or konnyaku, which is a type of Asian yam. There is also tofu shirataki noodles, which are a mix of tofu and konnyaku. This type is becoming increasingly popular in the United States most likely because they are softer than the previous kind and the texture makes a better substitute for noodles in soups, pasta dishes and… You guessed it, casseroles!

Not only are they low-carb, tofu shirataki noodles are also low in calories and can lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels in the body. The noodles are also wonderful for weight loss because they promote digestion and improve intestinal function.

Tofu shirataki noodles require no cooking or boiling which is perfect for people with busy schedules. All you need to do is drain the noodles (they come packaged in water) and rinse them under cold water. Rinsing them removes the natural odor from the konnyaku plant root which can smell a little fishy. The noodles are then ready to be eaten served with a ponzu or tare dipping sauce, or cooked however you like.

For this tuna noodle casserole I am tossing the tofu shirataki fettuccine style noodles in a creamy sauce made with 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup, sriracha sauce and soy sauce. So simple yet so yummy! I then added lots of veggies such as fresh mushrooms, carrots, zucchini and frozen peas to make this casserole dish meatier and more filling. This tuna noodle casserole is comfort food at its best; it’s low fat, low calories but has all the elements of rich homemade food. You are going to love this adaptation of the classic tuna noodle casserole!
