Traditional pasta casserole is unfortunately fatty and calorific. But it is effortless to turn it into a healthy, low-calorie no-bake pasta casserole that’s rich in vitamins and dietary fibre. What is more – you don’t have to bake it! Delicious pasta casserole can be prepared quickly in a pan!
To prepare healthy casserole, I used whole grain pasta and low-fat mozzarella cheese. I added my favourite yellow beans, cherry tomatoes and parm ham and seasoned it with fresh herbs. My healthy casserole is aromatic and full of flavour, although it has only 300 calories in one portion.
