Once the canned tomatoes have slightly thickened, about 3 minutes, add in the broth and raise to a high heat, once it comes to a boil, add in the pasta, mix every 2 to 3 minutes
About 8 to 9 minutes after adding the pasta and most of the broth has been absorbed, but there is still some broth left, add in the spinach, just over the pasta, place a lid on the pan and lower to a low-medium heat, simmer for 2 to 3 minutes or until all the broth has been absorbed, then remove from the heat
Add in the drained tuna and mix together, let it rest for a couple of minutes to sligthly cool off, then add in the Greek yogurt at room temperature, season with black pepper, mix together until well mixed, serve at once
