Wide zucchini “noodles” offer a healthy alternative to pasta in this keto-friendly tuna bake.
Ingredients
- 1 medium (100 g/3.5 oz) red onion
- 2 cups (200 g/7.1 oz) white mushrooms
- ¼ cup (56 g/2 oz) ghee or butter
- 3 medium (600 g/21.2 oz) zucchini
- ½ cup (125 g/4.4 oz) Pesto
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 3 cups (450 g/15.9 oz) canned tuna, drained
- 1 cup (110 g/3.9 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.33 cup (30 g/1.1 oz) grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C, or gas mark 5). Peel and slice the onion and then wash and slice the mushrooms. Grease a pan with the ghee and add the onion. Cook until translucent and then add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes more and remove from the heat.
- Meanwhile, wash and thinly slice the zucchini using a potato peeler or a vegetable spiralizer to create wide flat noodles. Drop the noodles into a large casserole dish and add the mushrooms, pesto, herbs, seasonings, and tuna. Sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese and mix well.
- Top with the grated Parmesan cheese and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. When done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
