Cook's comments:
I used fettuccine pasta for this recipe. Feel free to use other types of pasta preferred. Simply follow package directions for cooking time. You can also substitute the spinach with other greens if desired.If you don't have this variety of canned tuna, use any canned regular tuna flakes in oil. Sprinkle juice from 1 lemon at the end of cooking.
