Craving tuna Casserole? I used green beans for the "noodles" but spiralized zucchini or spaghetti squash are also excellent substitutes! I personally like green beans for this particular recipe. I used a combination of light ranch dressing and sour cream to give it a little zing and to make it creamier. Enjoy!
