Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep the dish
Heat the oven to 180°C / 350°F. Lightly grease a medium baking dish so the casserole releases easily.
Boil the pasta
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Cook the pasta 1–2 minutes less than the package says; it will finish in the oven. Drain well.
Mix the base
In a large bowl, toss the drained pasta with the milk. Add the drained tuna, breaking it up gently with a fork.
Add peas and season
Stir in the frozen peas straight from the freezer. Sprinkle in black pepper and mix until everything is evenly distributed.
Assemble
Spoon the mixture into the baking dish and level the top. Scatter the cheese evenly so it melts across the whole surface.
Bake and rest
Bake for 50 minutes, until the top is lightly browned and the edges are bubbling. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then serve.
