Delicious! Used fettuccine prefer it to spaghetti enriched not whole-wheat all our little store had. Not an olive fan but really nice in this. Worth looking for our Safeway stocks them in a VERY small town! Not hugely generous for four if you are greedy! Make sure you mix the tuna in well or it falls to the bottom. Would also bring the broth (yes use veg broth if you have it) to the boil before putting in the pasta which can stick together Definitely on The List! Read More

I love this dish! Easy to make and different. I thought the olives would be hard to find but they were in with the regular ole' olives! I double the amount of the olives in the recipe because they're so good and cut the them in fourths so there's more bites of olive in each bite! I like to substitute vegetable broth for the water for more flavor and I like to add some chopped green onions when I plate the dish. Read More
