Excellent! Fast, easy, very tasty and healthy too! The only pasta I had on hand was linguine so I used that and I added an extra can (drained this one) of tuna. Will make this again!

Delicious! Part of our regular rotation now.

Delicious! I added cut up roasted asparagus. Good to note, do not drain the tuna oil.

Great recipe. I'm not a fan of tuna but this recipe is amazingly delicious. The tuna isn't fishy tasting at all. The capers give it a nice boost of flavor and the lemon and dressing add a light, fresh finish. This is the only time I now eat tuna. My family also enjoyed it very much.

My husband makes this recipe. He uses a thinner noodle and olive oil as the dressing. It’s quick, looks nice and very delicious. The capers add a great taste. It’s really our go to dish!

Great & easy dish. I like it with egg noodles too!

Absolutely love this dish and I've made it several times now. It's easy, quick and delicious. I make a few adjustments: The recipe is too much pasta for the amount of meat (I don't eat a lot of carbs), so I either double the tuna and fixings or halve the amount of pasta. I also add chopped shallots and asparagus, sautéed in the pan after the pasta has cooked and drained. Instead of buying Tessa Mae's, I make my own dressing using olive oil, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, minced garlic, and a teaspoon of Primal Palate Super Gyro seasoning.

I like making something for dinner that takes me less than 30 minutes from start to finish. This recipe took only about 10 minutes to make and it was fantastic! I’ve never tried this combination before, so it was a pleasant surprise. Thanks for all the great recipes.

Great, light dinner. Super combination of lemon, capers, tuna and Italian dressing....one of my fave pasta dishes.

This was a super fast meal, delicious and so simple to make.

This recipe was right on a good change for a delightful evening summer dinner enjoyed it very much
