  Delicious light meal. I make double and take the rest in for a healthy lunch the next day.

  This is super easy and tastes fantastic. I bought the John West Reserved tuna slices in olive oil. Tasted even better!

  Most of the ingredients are already in the cupboard so that's a great help and the family love it.

  This recipe was delicious and easy. My partner is a novice cook and he managed it without any trouble and was pleased as punch with himself with the end results.

  Really tasty and quick to make, an after-work favourite. It's good with loads of sea salt and roughly ground black pepper. Also works cold for lunch the next day, with an extra glug of olive oil.

  Very nice and easy recipe. Perfect for summer. I didn't have any capers so chopped up a clove of garlic and added that with lemon zest. I'm sure it will become a family favourite!

  This was very easy and quick and was delicious. I used sugar snap peas instead of the beans and it was great!

  I was making this cold for lunch boxes so refresed the pasta & beans in cold water and drained the tuna and added some low fat fromage frais and lemon juice to make a dressing. Very tasty.

  This was very tasty and summery. Didn't have green beans so used frozen peas instead. Will make again.

  This is a great recipe, and I'm not even a big fan of tuna. I boiled a couple of eggs in with the pasta, and chopped them into big chunks and stirred them in too, which worked really well. Delicious.

  Anyone watch Hugh Fernely Whittingstalls Fish fight on Channel 4 last week or seen the Greenpeace tinned tuna league table? http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/tunaleaguetable Make sure you use pole and line caught tuna for this dish rather than that has been caught using large nets which kill dolphins, turtles and sharks as by-catch. pole and line tuna can be found at sainsbury's, marks & spencer and waitrose but unsure about the others...
