Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (5 oz each) tuna (drained)
- 2 cups low-carb noodles (e.g., zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash, or shirataki noodles)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- ½ cup crushed pork rinds (optional, for topping)
- 1 cup keto-friendly veggies (e.g., broccoli, spinach, or mushrooms)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
- Prepare the noodles: pat zucchini or shirataki noodles dry to remove excess moisture.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together cream cheese, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Stir in the drained tuna, shredded cheese, and veggies (if using). Mix well and fold in the prepared noodles.
- Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and top with Parmesan cheese and crushed pork rinds for a crispy finish.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- To prevent the casserole from becoming watery, ensure all veggies and noodles are thoroughly dried before mixing.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free cheese.
- Add crushed pork rinds or almond flour as a crispy topping for extra texture.
