Reduced Fat Dijon Tuna Noodle Casserole image

This recipe is lower in fat than many, but better than any tuna noodle casserole I've tasted. Even my husband (that hates tuna) loved it! I typically use fresh Parmesean cheese, but for this one, I only had prepackaged grated cheese on hand. It turned out great!
