The Golden Rule
"Never let your pasta cook completely to mush in the boiling water; always steal it away one minute early, for the oven shall finish its journey, and nothing is more tragic than soggy pasta in a bake!"

Chef's Notes
Listen well to the whispers of the kitchen, my friends! When constructing your white sauce, never rush the addition of the milk. If you pour it all at once, lumps will form and bring great sorrow to your heart. Patience is the secret ingredient of every master.
Pro Tip
Want to elevate this humble bake to legendary status? Always ensure your canned tuna is well-drained so excess liquid does not water down your velvety mornay sauce. Furthermore, shredding your own parmesan yields a superior melt compared to pre-bagged varieties!
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dare to dump your milk into the roux all at once like an impatient amateur, and you shall be banished to a lifetime of lumpy wallpaper paste rather than a velvety Mornay sauce!

The Royal Jester says: 'I tried cooking this for the King, but he complained there wasn't enough room in the casserole for his ego!'
The Culinary Science
Observe the glorious alchemy of starch and heat! When flour meets melted butter and is cooked briefly, the fat coats the starch granules, preventing them from clumping when milk is added. This forms a stable suspension that thickens into a glorious sauce as the liquid reaches a simmer.
