  Really tasty, super quick and super easy. I found that it is easier said than done to toss the spaghetti with the tuna etc and it ended up not mixed in very easily but hardly a problem really!

  I made a slight variation of this for our dinner last night. I used fresh salmon, which I microwaved, instead of tuna (we didn't have any of the latter). I also shallow fried a finely chopped small onion instead of the shallot, and then warmed the olives (black instead of green) and capers with the onion. It was gorgeous, many thanks Sara Buenfeld!!! I think the unadulterated recipe would make a fantastic pasta salad too, which I hope to try soon if this great weather continues!

  Very quick and easy to prepare, but it's completely NOT my cup of tea - the dish was rather bland if not sour, despite the right proportions. But don't take my word for it - you should try it for yourself!

  A great quick supper, I used black olives instead of green and reserved some of the pasta water to add to the mix. will do again.

  After reading the comments on it being a bit dry, bland and hard to toss, I changed a couple of things. Fried a small onion in a pan, then added the capers and some creme fraiche and heated it all up before tossing with the pasta and broccoli. Used the lemon juice and olives in the salad I served it with. Very easy, quick and satisfying.

  Very quick and very Yummy! I added more tuna, and fried the onion before adding it because it was a bit strong.

  Was nice, used cream and added red onion not shallots with a touch of rose and demara sugar and added sesame seeds before serving.

  I used durum wheat linguine instead of spaghetti, and chucked some spinach in with the broccoli to make up for not having any olives. Tasty, quick and easy dish for when I'm too tired to make an effort.
