About

It's healthy!

Many other tuna casserole recipes have unnecessary fat (i.e. butter, mayonnaise, cheese).

Since whole wheat egg noodles tend to be less appealing, I compromise by using a 1/2 package of whole wheat and a 1/2 package of white egg noodles. The taste is better and you get some fiber.
