Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
-
Cook the pasta according to the package directions minus two minutes (the pasta should be slightly undercooked).
-
While the pasta is cooking, add the olive oil to a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and mushrooms and sauté until the onions turn clear, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the spinach and no-salt seasoning and sauté until the spinach is wilted and soft, about 3 more minutes.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, salt and ground black pepper until all the flour lumps are mixed in. Pour over the vegetables and bring to a boil. Stir in the tuna and pasta and pour into the prepared baking pan.
-
Sprinkle the parmesan cheese on top of the casserole and bake for 15 minutes.
