Cook the pasta. Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions until al dente, then set aside a cup of the cooking water.

Sear the tuna. Pat the tuna dry, season with salt and pepper, and sear it on a hot pan with a little oil over high heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side so it stays pink inside, then set it aside to rest.

Add the spinach. Stir in the spinach and briefly wilt it over low heat, then season with salt and pepper.
