Low FODMAP Tuna Noodle Casserole

This healthy, light and delicious low FODMAP Tuna Noodle Casserole is easy to make and even easier to love. You might even like it more than the classic version!

It might not have all the classic ingredients (we cannot tolerate peas, cream or mushrooms) but this healthier, lighter yet flarvorful version might just make you forget about the when-I-could-eat-all-fodmaps tuna casserole 😉

The inspiration for this low FODMAP Tuna Noodle Casserole came from the original Italian ragu sauce (aka bolognese). Really?! a meat dish inspiring a tuna casserole?! Proteins aside, in the traditional version, the sauce is actually made with a lot of carrots and celery and not so many tomatoes. So I thought that it could be interesting to add low FODMAP veggies like carrots and green beans and some tomatoes as well. Tomatoes and tuna are a classic combination in the mediterranean kitchen and a personal favorite.

The result is this easy, delicious, healthy and tummy friendly Tuna Noodle Casserole perfect for a weeknight family dinner.

• 1 cup | 150 gr frozen green beans
