John and I were interested in a GBOF (giant bowl of food.) We decided that the best way to stretch our food points and achieve our goal would be to make a little pasta, add a little tuna and pad that out with a lot of vegetables. Our sauce was basically the flavors from the vegetables with some chicken stock and pasta water. I looked in the vegetable drawers and used everything that could possibly go together – onions, mushrooms, carrots, celery, broccolini, pea pods, red bell pepper, pasilla pepper and serrano chile. I am sure I’ve missed something but you get the idea.

This dinner is easily made vegetarian by omitting the tuna and using vegetable broth or just pasta water.
