I would give this dish a 4 out of 5. It was very good, but I would have liked the sauce to be a bit thicker.

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. I used canned tuna and it turned out great.

I made this dish with whole wheat penne and it was delicious! The peas added a nice sweetness to the dish and the tuna was very flavorful.

This dish was okay. The tuna was a bit dry and the sauce was bland. I would not make this again.
