Recipe Reviews
I did not like the tuna in this dish so I ended up taking it out, I'll be sticking to the Cajun chicken pasta instead.
I love this almost as much as I loved the pasta puttanesca!
Simple to make for sure but 15 minutes was no where near enough for me, I had to let the pasta cook for atleast 30 so giving it 4 stars for incorrect timing on my end, food was edible though.
Amazing tuna pasta recipe, I loved every bite of this, not only was it super easy to make but I had some leftovers which tasted just as good even after a day of sitting in the fridge!
Perfect recipe for anyone who is a fan of tuna, I hate a lot of tuna dishes but this one really got my attention, it tasted heavenly.
When I made this for family fun night, everyone was groaning about having to eat tuna since no one likes it but once they took a bite of this masterpiece they never asked for anything other than more!
Nice, good recipe recommend it because it's easy to follow, thanks.
Would it be weird to say that I added some sundried tomatoes to this? It was really delicious.
Delightful plate for dinner and the tuna went so well with the rest of the ingridents, really love this pangrattato pasta recipe.
Super great dish for family dinner, my husband enjoyed it and the kids finished and even licked their plates, wonderful meal and I highly recommend it.
Shared the recipe with a few of my co-workers and now eachtime they make it they always bring me leftovers! Can never get enough tuna after all.
Wow, this was really delightful, the tuna and lemon together make this have a zesty taste and with the breadcrumbs it makes the pasta absolutely perfect since there is a bit of a crunch.
Thanks for sharing this amazingly well flavoured recipe with us, I honestly can't get enough of this.
Fell in love with this instantly, everything about this pasta makes your stomach smile back at you.
