  Just tried this. Very simple and great. I added thinly sliced and sauted fennel and onions in the olive oil, then I used the tops as dill to decorate.

  Great recipe for all the family. I actually added some left over mozzerella and a tablespoon of half fat creme fraiche to make more of a sauce.

  Lovely simple recipe, ready before the pasta was cooked! I sauteed the onion a little beforehand (I'm not a big fan of raw onion), and used tuna in sunflower oil, which combined nicely with the pasta water and lemon juice to make a bit of sauce.

  i love this recipe! really simple and really tasty! the flavors are quite strong. one time we also tried it with homemade cheese sauce. makes it milder and saucier but still very yummy.

  I used tuna in olive oil (Lidl), lightly sauteed onion and small garlic clove. Added lemon juice, butter and sweetcorn. Delicious.

  This is really good, great when you don't fancy making much of an effort. I used dried dill and used the fat reducing grill to cook the onions slightly made a real good sweet to contrast the sour of the lemon.

  I am a student and always looking for new quick recipe. I have everything in my cupboard, just toast it together. I use dried dill and it turns out fine, taste great! This menu will definitely be in my list.

  Vile! The most disappointing thing I have cooked on here. Even with the addition of some creme fraiche as recommended by the other users, my husband and I hated it. Cold tuna with hot pasta was a horrible combination.

  A great dish. Fresh, tasty and so easy to make. Next time I�ll use slightly less lemon juice but I thought it worked beautifully with the dill. So quick to throw together after a long day at work, perfect!
