For this recipe I did not use Broccolini.  We can't find it in the stores so, I used regular broccoli.  I could not find fress spinach linguine so I used dried spinach linguine.  I threw the broccoli into the pasta water for the last five minutes cooking time of the pasta.
Katie gave us a gift card from Fred Meyer so we used it to buy the tuna steakes.  We bought two and that was plenty.  Those gift cards come in handy!!
Were thinking about getting ourselves one so that we can use it for expensive stuff like tuna and lamb.
