  Love this recipe! Makes a brilliant lunchbox meal, I make a batch up and then take it too work over the next few days. I use tinned tuna in brine and then add extra virgin olive oil to the warm cooked pasta, tastes lovely.

  Followed the recipe to the letter and found it lacking something. There's some left over, so I'll have a play with it and see if I can pep it up. Very easy and quick to do though.

  Following up from what I said earlier, I just mixed through half a tub of fresh tomato and onion salsa - gorgeous!

  Don't like it very much, there's something missing from there, I just can't put my finger on it.

  Perfect for when kids are hungry and you need something swift and simple to get on the table. Can add all sorts of things to make it more interesting for adults .. we added red peppers, sweetcorn, chilli etc

  Nice and quick to make. The lemon gives it a lovely fresh taste. I added a couple of handfuls of chopped cherry tomatoes which gave it a little bit more of a kick and freshly ground black pepper. Was very much appreciated by all. My 8 year old, who is an extremely fussy eater, wanted (and ate) seconds!!

  This wasn't a winner for me- it was very dry, and there were too many beans in it compared to tuna, I think.
