Ingredients Needed to Make Keto Tuna Noodle Casserole

- Canned mushrooms
- Chopped broccoli and frozen peas
- A double batch of these keto pasta noodles (I make them a day or two ahead of time)
- 2 leftover keto Chaffles or 1/2 recipe of these Keto Croutons or 2 slices low carb bread of your choice
Can You Eat Peas on Keto?
While high in Fiber, pea are also high in carbs and most people generally avoid them on Keto.
However, this low carb tuna noodle casserole recipe replaces most of the traditional peas with chopped broccoli and you can just leave out the small amount of peas if you like.
If you add 1/2 cup of peas to the recipe it adds about 7 net carbs to the entire recipe. But I changed it to 2 tbsp peas, just enough to get the feel of it!

Your recipe was a big hit, My husband went back for seconds. I used the spherification noodle method (if I spelled/said that right) from your video. Now all we need is for someone to create a un-potato chip that REALLY tastes like a potato chip that’s not radishes, cauliflower, or zucchini.
Thank you for sharing your recipe. It’s a winner!!!
Whoa a husband going for seconds, that is awesome! I fed this to my son with the video noodles and he loved it too!
This sounds delicious. Thank you! I’m going to give it a shot. Question: No broccoli in the recipe, yet it’s mentioned above. Any idea on the amount?
Well I can’t believe I did that! Originally I made it with 1/2 cup peas and then I cut them down because too many carbs. Use 1/2 cup chopped broccoli. I normally just measure frozen chopped broccoli out of the bag. Thanks for letting me know and I will fix the recipe card!
