INSTRUCTIONS
Tap on the times in the instructions below to start a kitchen timer while you cook.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the yellow squash and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, mixing occasionally with tongs, until crisp-tender. Transfer squash noodles to a colander over the sink.
- Add the onion to the pan and decrease heat to medium. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until translucent.
- Add the bell pepper and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until peppers and onions are starting to brown.
- Add the chicken broth. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Increase heat to bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, until the liquid volume is reduced by half.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and 1 1/2 cups of the Parmesan, until the cheese melts and sauce is smooth.
- Gently stir the tuna into the sauce.
- Gently press on the noodles in the colander to drain excess water. Transfer to a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Pour the sauce, tuna, and vegetables over the noodles and use tongs to coat.
- In a small bowl, use a fork to mash together the remaining 1/3 cup of Parmesan, pork rinds, and remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Crumble the mixture over the casserole.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until bubbly. Broil for 2 to 4 minutes, until the topping is golden brown.
