Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Spray a small baking pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the pasta, tuna, chopped pepper and mozzarella cheese. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Spoon tuna mixture into the prepared pan and top with cheddar cheese.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cheddar is melted, the dish is heated through and bubbly.
Serve hot.
Recipe Notes
My tip for roasting peppers on your own: I put the pepper in my toaster oven and char both sides, then place it in a plastic bag until cool. This makes for really easy peeling.Wheat pasta generally expands when it cooks so if you need 2 cups, start with about 1 cup of raw noodles. Alternative pastas on the other hand remain about the same raw or cooked, so keep that in mind if you use gluten-free pasta.As an alternative to baking the casserole, it can also be microwaved instead. It will bubble and melt, however the crispy bits that I love around the edges will be missing.Serving size: entire recipeClick here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.9*SmartPoints (Green plan)9*SmartPoints (Blue plan)5*SmartPoints (Purple plan)7*PointsPlus (Old plan)
