Good for us adults, but the kids din't particularlly like this. I though it was alright, though it seemed to be missing something. Tagged and made for PAC Spring 2013. -
Loved this! Very simple recipe - I used less tuna - just one can for three of us. excellent with a green salad. -
great recipe my fussy kids ate it all up and asked for more this is a keeper thanks for sharing -
This recipe went down well with the whole family including my very fussy daughter who does not normally like pasta. The only complaint from them was there was not enough. I will just make double next time.
