A delightful and creamy tuna pasta bake that's perfect for a comforting family dinner.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain.
Don't overcook the pasta as it will continue to cook in the oven.
In a mixing bowl, combine the tuna, sour cream, milk, mushrooms, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Mix gently to keep the tuna chunks intact.
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and mix until evenly coated.
Ensure the pasta is well coated for even flavor distribution.
Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish.
Spread the mixture evenly for consistent baking.
In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, and melted butter.
Ensure the butter is evenly distributed for a crispy topping.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the casserole.
Press the topping lightly to help it adhere.
Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to set.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy tuna pasta bake.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
