  Made this for 2 packed lunches but really the amounts were only enough for one decent portion. Tasted good, but despite using 2-3tbsp of pesto it was still rather dry.

  Agree with comment above - tastes nice, but despite large quantities of pesto and extra oil added, was still really dry. The tuna just seems to soak up the oil, leaving none to coat the pasta.

  Very tasty, I add the juice of half a lemon and extra olive oil and pesto.
