This is delicious. I made ours gluten free using rice penne shaped pasta instead. I used water packed tuna so I just added 1 1/2 tbs more unrefined extra virgin olive oil. As is noted on the foodandwine website. I also used freshly squeezed lemon juice, adding along with the zest but it does not mention to add it in the directions. I used sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and chopped flat leaf parsley for the herbs. Served with Balkan (thick) yogurt. Good enough that I would make it again!Reply
