The tuna & the vegetables combined with the pasta to make this a very sophisticated & flavorful meal. I omitted the olives, as I am not fond of them, and had to substitute egg noodles, as I didn't have enough bow tie pasta. I also scaled the recipe back to feed three. I had a bit of asparagus in the fridge & I am sorry I didn't toss that in too as I think it would have been a good addition. I think you could play quite a bit with this basic recipe, depending on what you had on hand & come out with a very nice meal. Thanks, Tish, I know this will be made often.

I was a little confused if this was meant to be eaten warm or cold. We had our first meal of this warm, right after it was made. I omitted the black olives due to personal preference. Warm, I probably would have given this a 3. Cold, the next day though, this was really good. It's definitely something really easy and quick, definitely took me less than 30 minutes to make and since I used canned green beans, only required me to boil some pasta. This would be perfect for summer, and will definitely go into my summer cookbook. Thank you for posting, I'm sure your recipe will be made again!

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
