My wife and I watched Giada make this on TV. I knew it was going to be good. I went to the store and bought the same tuna and cannelli beans ( didn’t spell that right) as she used. Wasn’t hard at all to put together. Only thing I added was garlic. We mixed it with arugula and spring mix salad. It was glorious my daughter and her family wanted come come over when I made it again and it was just as good now it’s on their family favorites. One thing I recommend please get the tuna that is in oil, it really makes a difference.

Out of respect for the chef who posted this recipe, I made as directed; which I won't do again when it's not someone's own. I'm a big fan of Giada's 'Everyday Italian' and can't imagine this is the way this recipe should be written or prepared. It was dry, colorless and had large, yet 'thin, slices' of red onion sticking out of it. It would be unfair to give a star rating since I don't really know what it should look or taste like based on how it's written.
