Salmon and Spinach Pasta

Chef# 616082's Note:

I got this from allrecipes and I'm adding it because there wasn't anything like it here. I don't like fish but bought out the store when they had three dollar a can wild salmon on for 79 cents. I didn't hate this and the fish eaters in the family liked it.

A quick, easy and tasty lunch! (or dinner). I used regular pasta and flour, so can't vouch for the gluten-free version. i also left out the sun-dried tomato (don't like them). I think this would work with tuna or shrimp also! Made for Spring 2009 PAC Orphanage.
