  Quick and easy and delicious! And perfect portion sizes too, just right without the addition of any extras like bread. I did get chilli in my eye though, and it's stinging quite a lot now!

  I love this, and make it quite often. Make sure you don't use too little oil - the pasta needs to be shiny and silky when coated in the oil, otherwise it can get a bit sticky.

  my boyfriend loves it.... and it is so easy to make. I have put more capers and red onion in. I also buy tuna in olive oil (in a glass at Waitrose) it is a bit expensive but it taste so much better and I don't have to put extra oil in.
