Cook Rotini: In a large pot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook until just tender.
-
Prepare Sauce: Once the pasta is cooked, do not drain the water. Instead, add the cream of mushroom soup directly into the pot with the water and pasta. Mix well until the soup is evenly incorporated.
-
Assemble: Pour the pasta and soup mixture into a 2-quart oven-safe baking dish, spreading it evenly.
-
Add Tuna: Drain the tuna and gently mix it into the pasta.
-
Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the pasta and tuna mixture.
-
Breadcrumb Topping: In a small bowl, melt the butter and margarine together. Add the breadcrumbs and mix until well combined. Sprinkle this breadcrumb mixture over the cheese layer.
-
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Tuna Pasta Melt!
