Preparation of baked pasta with tuna and peas

Deglaze with a tablespoon of white wine and add the peas.
Stir, add hot water to just cover the peas and cover the pan with a lid.Cook for ten minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt, stir and add the tuna well drained of its preserving oil and let it release its flavor for a few minutes, then turn off the heat and remove the garlic clove.
Cook the pasta for a few minutes less than the time indicated on the package in plenty of boiling salted water, drain it and add it to the pan with the sauce.Also add the béchamel, half of the grated cheese and the diced mozzarella and mix thoroughly.
