  Very tasty dish, quick and easy to make...ideal for lunch. Couldn't find the suggested pasta, so just used what I had at home.

  Anyone watch Hugh Fernely Whittingstalls Fish fight on Channel 4 last week or seen the Greenpeace tinned tuna league table? http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/tunaleaguetable Make sure you use pole and line caught tuna for this dish rather than that has been caught using large nets which kill dolphins, turtles and sharks as by-catch. pole and line tuna can be found at Sainsbury's, marks & spencer and waitrose but unsure about the others...

  I thought this was horrible! I love most of the ingredients in it, but thought together they made a bland, weird dish...
