Clam & Tuna Primavera Pasta

I made this on a whim today, basically I looked in my fridge and pantry and didn't have too much to work with. It came out really good, and canned tuna is something most people have on hand.


1 bag of penne pasta
1 large can of tuna
1 can of clams in clam juice
1 small carrot
1 shallot
1 celery stalk
4 garlic cloves
1/2 poblano
1/2 red bell pepper
1 zucchini
handful of frozen edamame
handful of frozen corn
1/2 white wine
1 cup of heavy cream
handful of chopped fresh herbs (I used oregano, parsley and dill)
small handful of queso fresco
olive oil as needed
salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed
chili flakes to your taste
To make:
Saute diced shallots, carrot, celery, bell pepper, poblano - then add diced zucchini and garlic. Next add tuna, corn, edamame and clam juice - deglaze with red wine and reduce au sec. Add in heavy cream and let thicken, add herbs and chopped clams, season and tasted. Serve with cooked penne pasta and sprinkle some queso fresco over the top. Enjoy!
