Steps

Heat the oven to 190°C / 375°F. Boil the noodles 2 minutes short of the package time and drain.
Cook the onion and mushrooms in the butter 8 minutes, then whisk in the flour for 2 minutes.
Add the milk gradually and simmer until it thickens, about 5 minutes. Season well.
Fold in the noodles, tuna, peas, and half the cheese, then spread in a baking dish.
Top with the rest of the cheese and the panko and bake 25 minutes until bubbling and browned.

Undercook the noodles — they keep cooking in the sauce.
