Step 1
Start by warming your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a loaf pan about 9x5 inches, mix together the cream of celery soup, Cheddar cheese, milk, sour cream, mayonnaise, tuna, parsley, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper until everything is combined into a creamy sauce. Next, add the cooked pasta to the sauce and give it a good stir so the noodles are fully coated. Spread some breadcrumbs evenly over the top for a nice crunch. Pop the pan into the oven and bake until the breadcrumbs turn golden and the sauce is bubbling, which should take around 45 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving so it sets up nicely.
