Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a small cup of pasta water if needed.
  2. In a large saucepan or skillet, heat the corn oil over moderate heat.
  3. Add the chopped shallots and garlic, sauting until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes.
  4. Raise the heat to high and add the sliced mushrooms. Saut until they begin to brown and release their moisture, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the evaporated milk.
  6. Simmer the mixture briskly, stirring frequently to prevent boiling over, until the milk reduces by about one-third and achieves a creamy consistency, 5 to 7 minutes.
  7. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until fully melted and smooth.
  8. Gently fold in the broken tuna chunks and fresh herbs (parsley and chives).
  9. Simmer gently just until the tuna is heated through, about 2 minutes. Do not boil vigorously to avoid toughening the fish.
  10. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  11. Spoon the creamy tuna and mushroom sauce over the cooked pasta and serve immediately.
