Known as Tuna-Pea Wiggle to some, this family-friendly tuna noodle casserole tends to be made with canned soup and whole milk, which means high fat and sodium. In our healthier version, we make our own creamy mushroom sauce with nonfat milk thickened with a bit of flour. Look for whole-wheat egg noodles—they have more fiber than regular egg noodles (but this dish will work well and taste great with either).

This Eastern European classic is so much more than the sum of its humble parts. Made with just four simple ingredients, it’s an easy add-in to your dinner rotation. For an extra boost of fiber, you can use whole-wheat egg noodles. This recipe is also easy to veganize too: simply swap out the butter for vegan butter and use egg-free pasta instead of egg noodles.
