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.

Wonderful taste. I didn't add all the noodles it would have been too dry for me. Nor did I add the spinach my husband wouldn't have eaten it. Instead I made a side of sauteed veggies. Make this dish. You'll be grateful you did.
