It was a very inexpensive and easy meal to prepare, and it was the only seafood my parents could get my sister and I to eat. As an adult, I still have a love for this creamy, cheesy comfort food recipe, and have been looking for some good Weight Watchers Tuna Casserole Recipes to try out. In fact, I actually posted another one back in February that is similar, but is two Points + higher that this recipe and also uses asparagus. But I felt like I could do better. So after playing with a few different versions, I created a healthy Tuna Noodle Casserole Recipe that still has all the cheese and carbohydrates, but also has more fiber and less fat. Though it&#8217;s not a super low calorie dish, 7 Points + isn&#8217;t a bad compromise for 1 1/3 cups. I mean, we <em>are</em> talking about lots of pasta and cheese here, people! I could&#8217;ve lowered it a Point or two by using less pasta or cheese, or doing without the breadcrumbs, but I seriously love this dish so much, I just didn&#8217;t want to sacrifice too much taste and texture. Though pair it with some roasted vegetables or some zero Points Plus side dishes, and you&#8217;ve got a pretty big and satisfying meal.Enjoy!</p><p><span
