Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan, combine tomato sauce, heavy cream, garlic powder, and oregano. Simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the flaked tuna and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
Combine the cooked pasta and tomato-tuna mixture in a large bowl. Mix in half of the mozzarella cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Optional: Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top for a crunchy topping.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

For a lighter version, you can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk.
Add sautéed vegetables like onions, bell peppers, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrients.
