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!
