This recipe was originally posted July 17th, 2015 but this year Katie lives away and Tommy is at camp!
With Katie away at camp and Tommy working evenings Richard asked if I'd make some of the things our kids don't like and Spinach Noodles with Tuna is one of them. I tweaked it a little and made less but by adding Colby cheese, sour cream and cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom it had a much milder taste. I also added chicken broth and the noodles continued to cook in the oven, absorbing all of the beautiful flavors. Here is the revised recipe. Enjoy!
