Weight Watchers Tuna Noodle Casserole
Making healthy meals that the whole family will love is always my goal. Eating healthy doesn’t have to mean that I eat one thing while the rest of the house eats something entirely different.
This lightened up tuna casserole is indulgent but still low in points thanks to a lot of zero point foods in the Freestyle program.
What do you need to make Weight Watchers tuna noodle casserole?
Everything you need to make this delicious Weight Watchers dinner recipe is probably in your pantry or refrigerator! There’s no surprise ingredients here (which I love…who wants to make a trip to the store at dinner time).
- 1/2 Cup Fat Free Mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 2 Tsp Fresh Parsley, Chopped
- 1/2 Tsp Table Salt
- 1/4 Tsp Black Pepper
- 2 Cups Fresh Mushrooms, Chopped
- 1 Cup Green Peas, Frozen, Thawed
- 2 Cups Plain Fat Free Greek Yogurt
- 1/2 Cup Reduced Fat Monterey Jack Cheese, Shredded
- 12 Oz Tuna, Canned, Drained
- 12 Oz Egg Noodles, Cooked
How do I make this healthy tuna noodle casserole?
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Coat baking pan with non-stick spray.
- Whip together mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

How much is a serving of this tuna noodle casserole?
Each serving of this delicious dinner recipe is 1 cup! The best part is that it’s super low in points so if you are really hungry you probably have room in your dailies for a second helping.
Speaking of points, how many Weight Watchers Points are in a serving of this WW tuna casserole?
Each serving of this incredible Weight Watchers tuna noodle casserole is just 3 Weight Watchers points!
A 3-point dinner recipe is pretty amazing in my book! I can have two servings and still not be gouging my daily points or diving into my weeklies.
WW has definitely changed from 2020 to now. They went from three to one plan to multiple plans and back to one plan again. So in 2023, we have just plain old “POINTS.”

Can I meal prep with this skinny tuna noodle casserole?
Yes! If you are looking for an easy lunch or dinner recipe to make in advance this is a great choice. Tuna noodle casserole gets better in the fridge after a day or two!
You can portion out servings of this for lunch with some fresh veggies on the side, or make a pan for a quick weeknight dinner recipe that can be reheated in the microwave or in the oven.
Is this a healthy tuna noodle casserole?
Nothing super processed in this recipe, if you really want a more clean recipe you can substitute whole wheat egg noodles! I like this healthy tuna noodle casserole because it’s lighter! There’s no heavy sauce in this recipe…just enough to make it work. So delicious and since it’s limited ingredients and free foods, the points are really low! It’s an all around winner in this house.

My husband and I liked it, but our daughter couldn't get passed the yogurt taste. Probably won't make it again, unfortunately. As a side note, I did use other veggies in place of peas and mushrooms. I used diced carrots, frozen green beans, and frozen corn. I air fried the carrots because they were fresh and I knew they wouldn't cook completely in the oven, but I should have done it longer. They were only semi-cooked so they had a crunch to them. The veggie replacements, overall, were good. It's a good recipe to swap out what you have on hand or according to preferences. I think diced potatoes would work well here too.

This was really good! I used miracle whip light instead of regular mayo. I chopped up some onions & microwaved them until they were soft & added them in. Thanks for the great recipe. Mine turned out to be 3 points per serving

We don't do our own nutrition calculations. The recipe card does it as a courtesy so I don't have that answer. Thank you

I have the same question about freezing because I would like to divide between two dishes. Should I mix it up, freeze it, then when ready to cook, let it thaw, add cheese, and then cook it? Thanks!

I wonder if I can make this for a freezer meal? Would I make it all the way and then freeze? This would be great to have in my freezer rotation! Thanks!
