TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 40 min.

Ingredients:

  • 5 cups uncooked egg noodles
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) reduced-fat sour cream
  • 1/2 cup fat-free mayonnaise
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups fat-free milk
  • 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 package (6 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken stuffing mix
  • 1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 cans (6 ounces each) light water-packed tuna, drained and flaked

Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise and lemon juice; set aside.
    In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt butter. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
