Keto Tuna Zoodle Casserole






Keto Tuna Zoodle Casserole








The great thing about this recipe is that it's incredibly easy to make and the preparation time takes almost no time at all. Later you can freeze this pan and save it for later or put it to work!

Ingredients

For the Zoodles
  • 3 medium zucchini, spiralized

For the cheese sauce
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic
  • 3 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 (12 ounce) can of tuna in water, drained
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

For the top
  • 1/2 mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese

Instructions

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Then, in a 9x13 baking dish, lightly spray the bottom of a cooking spray.

Place the zoodles in the dish and spread out as much as possible.

Cook the zoodles at 10 minute intervals. Remove and stir every 10 minutes, continue cooking at 10 minute intervals until the moisture has evaporated.
** Depending on the size and humidity level of the zucchini, it can take between 10 and 20 minutes. Remove when moisture has evaporated and they have shrunk, but before they are brown or crisp. **

While the zoodles are precooked, heat a medium pan over medium heat to melt the butter, add the garlic, almond milk, heavy cream, cream cheese and 1 cup cheddar cheese. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and the cheese has melted. Stir in the drained tuna. Remove from fire.

In the 9x13 pan, you pre-cooked your zoodles in layers, and the tuna sauce and the remaining grated cheese. Bake 25-30 minutes until gold and boils. 
Happy Cooking Time.
