Non-Dairy Tuna Casserole Recipe

I'm TRYING to eliminate dairy from my diet but it has not been easy. I would like the whole family be fit and healthy so I'm trying to create healthier meals without losing great taste.

My family really likes my tuna casserole. Tuna Casserole is an acquired taste, as most people only eat tuna in tuna salad sandwiches. My dillema has always been finding an alternative to cow's milk in order to produce a creamy base instead of using cream of chicken or cream of mushroom. It wasn't as difficult as I thought. Just a few adjustments to the menu and BAM!

Here's my recipe:

2 cups Almond Milk
3 Tbsp. Olive Oil
3 Tbsp. Kosher Potato Startch or Flour
3 cans of Tuna
1/2 cup Chicken Stock or Vegetable Stock or Water
3 cups cooked Pasta
1 can of Peas
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt
Pepper


Use the almond milk, olive oil,  and garlic powder to create the base. Bring to a boil and let simmer. Add the Potato startch or flour to thicken up the sauce. Blend ingredients in a mixer, then put back in sauce pan. Add chicken/vegetable stock or water if sauce is too thick. Add salt and pepper. Once you like the consistency of the sauce, add the tuna, peas and pasta.

Try it and let me know how you tweaked the recipe, if you needed to!

Enjoy!
