Creamy Baked Cheesy Tuna Pasta

Instructions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 2 minutes less than the package instructions for al dente. Drain and set aside without rinsing.
2. In a saucepan, melt 3 tbsp butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Slowly pour in the warmed milk, whisking constantly to eliminate lumps. Simmer until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
4. Stir in garlic powder, salt, pepper, and the shredded Cheddar until the sauce is a smooth, glossy emulsion.
5. Fold in the drained tuna, peas, and sweetcorn, stirring gently to maintain tuna chunks.
6. Pour the cooked pasta into a 9x13 inch baking dish and fold in the creamy sauce until every noodle is enveloped.
7. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Mix Panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, and oregano in a small bowl.
8. Layer the Mozzarella over the pasta, then sprinkle the seasoned breadcrumbs on top.
9. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
