Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, drained tuna, jarred Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and thawed peas. Stir until well combined.
Season the mixture with garlic powder, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir again to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
