  Love the idea but felt there was too much pasta and not enough of the other ingredients, which made it a bit bland. Maybe halving the amount of pasta and just making it a meal for two would be better. May try again.

  Im not the biggest fan of tuna but decided to give this recipe a go because of all the positive reviews and im so pleased i did, it was fantastic! I tweaked it abit tho, I used peas instead of beans and as I only had tuna in brine in the storecupboard I drained it really well and added extravirgin olive oil. I also felt it needed a squeeze of the lemon aswell as the zest. I also made double so will be having it as a cold pasta salad for lunch today :)

  Perfect for a quick tasty lunch. Added some sweetcorn as I had some in the fridge that needed using up. I will be making this again.

  Really good and simple pasta salad (we always make enough for a lunch box the next day.) The capers, lemon and chili add punch to a dish that might look boring at first glance and really tie the flavours together. Even my boyfriend, who insists he doesn't like tuna, admitted with some wonderment that this dish works precisely because of the tuna.

  Quick, easy delicious. I made it with gluten-free pasta and tuna in spring water rather than oil....the lemon just makes it.
