Clam and Tuna Arugula
Pesto Linguine
Ingredients
- ½ pound dry linguine
- 2 cups tightly packed arugula
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ lemon, zested and juiced
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- ½ cup olive oil
- pinch red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ yellow onion, diced
- 1 can Crown Prince Natural Solid Light Yellowfin Tuna in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, drained and flaked
- 1 can Crown Prince Natural Whole Baby Clams in Water (do not drain)
- salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions
Fill a large pot with water. Place on burner over high heat and add a handful of salt. When water comes to a boil throw in linguine.
While linguine is cooking, place the next six ingredients into a food processor bowl. Process on high until smooth. Taste and season as needed with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a large sauté pan, heat butter and oil over medium high heat. When butter is melted, add onion and sauté until onions are translucent. Once linguine is cooked, use tongs to remove from water and transfer to sauté pan. Stir to combine with onions and add ¼ to ½ cup of pasta cooking water. Allow most of the water to evaporate off. Add pesto, tuna and clams. Combine well and heat through.
Transfer to serving plates or bowls and top with additional shredded parmesan cheese or red pepper flakes as desired.
Serve immediately.

Meet Chef Jan Hill
Hi, I’m Chef Jan Hill! I am a first-generation immigrant from Laos. I grew up and settled in the Southern California area before moving to Atlanta in July of 2018.
My culinary career started in fine dining at the one Michelin star rated Ortolan in Los Angeles. Since then, I have worked in many different areas of the culinary world ranging from teaching kids’ cooking classes to working in the culinary department of University of Southern California to many famed and well-known resorts in the Palm Springs area. Since becoming a Georgian I have also created food for scenes in Black Lightning and The Resident.
I believe cooking and food is what every culture has in common. We all need to eat to survive, but food itself brings families and friends across cultures together. I live to eat and cook amazing food; I do not eat and cook amazing food to live.
