About Tuna Noodle Casserole
Don’t use canned, grated Parmesan; it’s mostly oil and chemical additives. Buy a small block of Parmigiano-Reggiano – stamped with its name on the rind – instead. This delicious cheese delivers much better flavor for your POINTS® values. Grate it with a microplane or the small holes of a box grater.
