Low-FODMAP Tuna Casserole

Serves: 4

Ingredients

3 ½ tablespoons butter, divided (see *note)
1 ½ medium carrots, peeled and cut into thin rounds
1/8 teaspoon wheat-free asafetida powder
1 teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 ½ cups frozen green beans, thawed for 10-15 minutes
4 tablespoons, low-FODMAP all-purpose gluten-free flour or rice flour
1 cup lactose-free milk (*can also use rice milk coconut milk)
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups cooked gluten-free pasta or brown rice pasta
1 can of Safe Catch Elite Tuna
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons gluten-free panko bread crumbs (such as Ian’s)

Directions

Add a ½ tablespoon butter into a medium-sized skillet on medium-high heat. Add in carrots, asafetida powder, then oregano, thyme and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Stir occasionally for about 2-3 minutes. Add in green beans and stir well to coat with butter and seasonings.
Lower heat to medium. Add in 1 tablespoon butter and slowly whisk in flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Add in milk and salt; continue whisking until well combined.
Add in pasta, tuna and cheddar cheese, and whisk until combined or cheese is slightly melted.
Add all ingredients to lightly greased 8 x 8″ glass casserole dish.
In a microwave, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl with bread crumbs. Sprinkle bread crumbs over casserole dish and add remaining freshly ground black pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes on 375°F.

*Notes – if you are more IBS-D prone, negate the last 2 tablespoons butter (step 5.) and just top casserole with dry bread crumbs or spray bread crumbs lightly with natural butter spray.
