Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
Salt
1 lb medium shell pasta
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 celery ribs from the heart, finely chopped
1/4 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 tbsp flour
1/2 cup dry white wine and chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
Freshly ground pepper
1 cup frozen peas
2 (12 oz) cans water-packed tuna, drained and flaked
4 sprigs of fresh tarragon, leaves stripped from stems and finely chopped
4 slices of white sandwich bread, torn into bits
Hot sauce
Flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (a generous handful)
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water, add the pasta and cook until al dente.
Place a large, deep skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, and melt 1 tbsp of the butter into the olive oil. Add the onion and celery, cook for 3 minutes, then stir in the bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then add the wine and reduce for 1 minute. Whisk in the broth and boil for 1 minute to thicken. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream; season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper. When it bubbles, add the peas and tuna and cook until heated through. Fold in the tarragon and turn the heat to low.
Preheat the broiler. In a food processor, pulse the bread until coarse bread crumbs form. In a microwavable dish, melt the remaining 3 tbsp of butter in a microwave and add a little hot sauce. Stir the butter into the bread crumbs to combine. Drain the shells, toss with the sauce and adjust the seasoning. Place the pasta in a 9-by-13-inch heatproof serving dish and cover with the bread crumbs. Place the dish under the hot broiler and crisp the crumbs for 1 to 2 minutes. Garnish with the parsley.
