Florentine Tuna Noodle Casserole

Growing up in the South, I had never had tuna noodle casserole but, after marrying a Midwest boy,  I learned to cook it; thanks to my mother-in-law.  It is another tasty dish that we crave occasionally and I’m sure there are many versions of it.  My recipe has a twist to it with the addition of flavorful spinach.  There’s nothing fancy about it, just a great dish for a chilly autumn night.  It’s a breeze to make and you can serve it with a tossed salad, giving you comfort food at its best!
