| 1. Place spinach on a plate and microwave it for 6 minutes on HIGH to defrost it; place it in a clean kitchen towel and wring it dry; set aside. | 2. While the spinach is defrosting, get a big pot of water on the stove; bring to a boil; then salt the water liberally and cook the shells to al dente. | 3. While the pasta cooks, heat a deep large skillet over medium heat. | 4. Add in the olive oil, then melt the butter into the oil. | 5. When the butter melts, add in the onions and garlic; cook 4-5 minutes until tender. | 6. Sprinkle the flour around the pan and cook for a minute, then whisk in the wine—it will cook off and the mixture will thicken almost immediately. | 7. Whisk in the stock, then whisk in the milk and bring it to a bubble. | 8. Reduce heat slightly; season the sauce with nutmeg, hot sauce, and mustard; season with salt and pepper to taste. | 9. Simmer 2-3 minutes to thicken; then add in the spinach, separating it as you add it to the sauce. | 10. Preheat the broiler. | 11. Back to the sauce, add in the tuna, flaking it as you go; then stir to combine. | 12. Heat the spinach and tuna for a minute or so. | 13. Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce. | 14. Transfer mixture to a casserole dish; cover it with the cheese. | 15. Place the casserole under the broiler for 2 minutes to brown the edges and the cheese. | 16. Top with parsley and serve. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
