Not Quite Tuna Casserole

We love tuna, but because I've been either pregnant or breastfeeding for the last 3 years, tuna has been something we have reluctantly given up.  Tuna absorbs mercury, and although tuna once in awhile is probably fine, one can of tuna can be low in mercury, while another can be super high. You just don't know what you're going to get.  But here's the problem... I love tuna casserole!! This recipe was adapted for that purpose, and we like it just fine!

1 package of brown rice pasta, cook according to directions

1 zucchini, sliced

1/2 c. celery, chopped

1/2 a red pepper, chopped (optional)

2/3 c. plain yogurt

1/2 c. mayonnaise (you can use fat-reduced)

1/2 tsp. thyme

1-2 tsp. dried mustard

1/4 tsp. salt 

1 can of white meat chicken, drained and flaked

1/3 c. green onions, sliced

2 tomatoes, chopped

1 c. grated cheese or cheese substitute

Put pasta on to cook. In a frypan, saute zucchini, celery and (optional) red pepper. Mix together yogurt, mayo, thyme, mustard, and salt. Drain cooked pasta, and stir in sauce and can of chicken. Add tomatoes and green onions. Top with grated cheese or cheese substitute.
