- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425 F. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, drain, drizzle a little olive oil over them so they don’t stick together, and set aside.
- Prepare the topping: Make the topping by combining all ingredients in a small bowl until well mixed together.
- Saute the vegetables: Melt the butter over medium-high heat and saute the onions, celery, and red bell pepper until tender. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, add the sauteed veggies, cooked noodles, drained tuna, peas, soup, milk, cheese, and parsley. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble and bake: Spoon the mixture into a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the casserole and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
