Delicious. I make it quite often. Though I recommend 2 cans of tuna, as 1 just wouldn't be enough for that much pasta...

Delicious! Tuna flavor does not come out strong due to other ingredients. Interesting mix, especially with the artichoke hearts! Giade NEVER disappoints me!

Like all of her recipes, this is easy and inexpensive to prepare. It's a wonderful light dish. I did add toasted pine nuts. I couldn't find campanelle so I substituted rotini. The next time I'm invited to a pot luck party, I will take this dish. How does she keep coming up with these wonderful dishes? Giada Rocks!

Like most of Giada' s recipes (and in fact all of the recipes from the area around Rome, the result is totally dependent on the quality of the ingredients used. The Italian tuna is so much better than American tuna. The cherry tomatoes have to be top quality (I used home grown that are fabulous now. It will not taste the same with dried herbs. This simple cooking requires using fresh and the best to get the desired result. You'll note that most of her recipes say "salt and pepper to taste". The reason for that is she was raised in an area where salt is used very sparingly (too sparingly for my tastes. On our first trip to the area, I was not crazy about many dishes because the salt content just wasn't enough for me and some things just don't work when you add salt after cooking.

When looking for the Italian tuna, someone in the grocery store suggested I use fresh tuna, so I poached 3 filets. I don't know if it really makes a difference but my husband & I loved this salad. I also added fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon. After spending 2 weeks in Italy this summer I wanted to recreate some dishes we enjoyed on our trip, this will be a salad I'll be adding to my list. Delicious!

Like all of Giada's recipes, its easy and flavorful. I didn't follow to a T because it was a last minute dish I was preparing. I didn't have enough Cherry tomatoes so I chopped up a tomato, replaced the parsley with basil and used Cavelleti instead the pasta she recommended. The recipe was the same, just subbed some of the ingredients with what I had at home....that is what cookiing is about.
We ate this for dinner with a cucumber and tomato salad....YUM.

I have to start out by saying I am NOT a fan of canned tuna in anything but I made this for my family and we all loved it even my 11 month old !! The artichoke hearts gave it an amazing taste so you weren't overwelmed by the taste of the tuna. It was so delicious we ate it for leftovers the next day.
I will definately make this again.
Thank you again Giada

This is a regular family favorite in my house. I think if my husband had it his way we would eat it every night! We have tried adding Kalamata Olives to the recipe too and its amazing. Geat job Giada!

I read the other reviewers suggestions and the only thing I did differently was use 1/2 pound of pasta, cherry tomatoes from my garden, a can of artichoke bottoms cut in fourths and the zest and juice of a large lemon. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. It was absolutely delicious and my first time cooking with campanelle pasta, which are really cute and fit this recipe perfectly. Thanks Giada for the inspiration.

I really liked this recipe, it came out perfect just as it did when I watched Giada make it. I used farfalle pasta ( i think that's the correct spelling I did not have italian tuna so I used regular albacore tuna packed in water. I was a little concerned at first but the flavors came together quite nicely and it was a huge hit at dinner. I would make this again. I think that Giada does a fantastic job and I love the show it is one of my favorites.
