Tuna Puttanesca and Penne image

Loosely based on"Every Day with Rachel Ray" Nov/06 edition. UPDATE: 08/26/2008 since everyone has increased the amount of garlic to 6 cloves, then I'll suggest that! Also, add some lemon zest. As for the heat - we enjoyed it the way it is. If desired, add some anchovies - it tastes great! Just ANOTHER UPDATE: 06/24/09 - increase the servings to 4 generous servings or 6 regular servings.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover tuna. I always have a can or two of tuna in my pantry, and this is a great way to turn it into a delicious meal.

I'm not a big fan of tuna, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sauce was so flavorful and the tuna was cooked perfectly.

This dish was a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The only thing I changed was that I used canned tuna instead of fresh tuna. It still turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. The sauce was flavorful and the tuna was cooked perfectly. I served it with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.

This dish was a hit! The combination of tuna, capers, and olives was delicious, and the penne cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
