Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta in the boiling water, draining it about 2 minutes before the time on the package. It should still be a bit firm. Rinse it in cold water to stop the cooking process and set aside.
- Mix the ricotta with the parsley and lemon zest in a small bowl and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
- In a large deep skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms have given up their liquid, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the spinach and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach has wilted. Remove the vegetables and set aside, leaving any liquid in the skillet.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Pour in the wine and let it bubble up and reduce for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add the half-and-half and cream, season with salt and pepper and cook, whisking, until it's all combined. If it gets too thick as it cooks, you can thin it with a little vegetable broth. When the sauce looks good, remove it from the heat and stir in 3/4 cup of the Parmesan.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small pan. Remove from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
- In the buttered baking dish, stir together the pasta, vegetables and sauce. (Add a splash of broth if needed). Add spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture, pushing them a bit into the pasta. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the pasta. Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and cook until the top is brown and the mixture is bubbling, about 20 minutes more.

Tips:
- Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a brighter flavor and more nutrients than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it and squeeze out all the excess water before adding it to the casserole.
- Don't overcook the tuna. Tuna is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook the tuna for just a few minutes, until it's opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Use a good quality Alfredo sauce. The Alfredo sauce is one of the key ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality sauce. Look for a sauce that is made with real cream and Parmesan cheese.
- Add some extra vegetables. You can add some extra vegetables to this casserole to make it even healthier. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots.
- Top the casserole with shredded cheese. Shredded cheese is a great way to add extra flavor and texture to this casserole. Use your favorite type of cheese, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or Parmesan.

This spinach Alfredo tuna casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's loaded with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family.
