Gluten + Dairy-Free Tuna Noodle Casserole

This gluten + dairy-free tuna noodle casserole is so easy to make! It is the perfect weeknight dinner to whip up & have the leftovers for a quick & easy lunch the next day! It is dairy-free, gluten-free, & absolutely delicious!

Gluten + Dairy-Free Tuna Noodle Casserole

NOURISHING + EASY GLUTEN + DAIRY-FREE TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE

This easy gluten + dairy-free tuna noodle casserole is full of nourishing ingredients such as onion, mushrooms, garlic, broccoli, & peas! It is also a great base to add whatever veggies you have on hand as well! Got some spinach that’s coming to its end? Throw it into the mix! It wilts up & becomes very small so you likely won’t even notice it is there & the dish will still be wonderful! I also love to throw cauliflower, carrots & more into this recipe! It works great with frozen veggies as well.

MAKE IT ONCE & EAT ALL WEEK

I love making this gluten + dairy-free tuna noodle casserole at the start of the week & keeping it in the fridge for a meal in a pinch! It can easily be re-heated for leftover the next day. I even find it tastes better the next day, so I definitely recommend making extra to have for leftovers!

I will re-heat this dish on the stovetop with a dash of broth to bring moisture to the dish or in the microwave if I am in a real pinch. I also enjoy eating it chilled straight from the fridge, so good!

MAKE Gluten + Dairy-free tuna noodle casserole IN UNDER 30 MINUTES

This gluten + dairy-free tuna noodle casserole is pretty quick to whip up. Even quicker if you have your veggies pre-chopped. Other than that you are simply sautéing a couple ingredients in a saucepan, adding some milk, broth, & spices then blending. Adding that mix to your prepared pasta with some tuna & added veggies & voila. So even if you aren’t in the mood to cook or had a long day this won’t take too much time or effort to put together.

MAKE Dairy-free tuna noodle casserole GLUTEN-FREE

I made this gluten + dairy-free tuna noodle casserole gluten-free by using chickpea pasta which was great! I love chickpea pasta for added fibre & protein as well. I also love this brown rice pasta for another gluten-free pasta option. But this recipe will work with any pasta, gluten-free or regular!

If you do want to add the optional topping, opt for gluten-free breadcrumbs to keep it 100% gluten-free. I used these.

MAKE Dairy-free tuna noodle casserole DAIRY-FREE

This recipe is naturally dairy-free as we are pretty much making our own creamy, dairy-free cream of mushroom soup. I did choose to serve this dish with cheese as I can tolerate dairy well. If you want to serve it with dairy-free cheese that is a great option as well! Or you can simply omit the cheese & this casserole will be just as delicious.
