I absolutely LOVE tuna noodle casserole! But I havnen't had it in forever... plus it was never so good on the wasteline... Playing around in the kitchen on my lunch break this afternoon and made this awesome lunch! And I like it better than the origional :), and it is soooo much healthier for you!

Ingredients:
2 oz Whole Wheat Ronzoni
1 individual pouch tuna in water
2 wedges laughing cow swiss cheese
1 TBS Wal-mart brand Reduced fat Parmesan cheese
1 slice 35 calorie whole wheat bread
Garlic powder, Mrs. Dash, Black pepper, Italian Seasonings and Rosemary to taste

Directions:
1. Boil the noodles. (Tastes amazing if you boil them in chicken broth... but will add some sodium)
2. While the noodles were boiling I toasted a piece of the the 35 calorie bread on the highest setting in the toaster... then crunched it up into breadcrumbs... This was still good... but couldn't get it quite as crunchy as I would have liked all the way through-out... It might be easier for you to make bread crumbs ahead of time... by baking on 325 for about 20 min... then putting in a food processor to crunch up with italian seasonings and rosemary.
3. If you by the mini Ronzoni it shoudl cook to al dente in about 7 minutes... I like my pasta a little mushier than that so cooked it for longer
4. Drain the pasta, add a little water so the cheese will spread better, smoosh the laughing cow cheese so that it will melt faster and add to the pain, keep stirring.
5. Add your spices to taste, and top with your bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.

Bon Appetite!
