This was made for the March event in the Photo Forum. I really enjoyed the fresh asparagus. It gave a nice crunch to the dish. I would suggest that if you don't have fresh peas to leave them out.

I enjoyed this tuna and pasta dish. I was lucky enough to get some fresh spring peas and the steaming process was a perfect way to take out the crunch but not make them mushy. The flavor combination of the fresh vegetables, lemon juice, and tuna was vibrant. Thank you for posting a wonderful, filling, healthy recipe.

Good recipe. Easy to make. I didn't have the green onions so I sauteed some onion. Also I added 2 garlic cloves. Could use some italian seasoning or other herbs though.

There are 2 awesome parts to this dish - speed and nutrition. While I think the original is supposed to be served room-temperature, I actually mixed the vegetables, tuna (one can in water, one in oil, no extra oil added), and pasta (whole wheat rotelle) in a pan, then hours later added lemon juice and lemon pepper seasoning and reheated for 3-5 minutes and served for dinner. How was it? My carnivore husband had thirds. I sprinkled some cheese on top, but loved it either way. Thanks for a great easy *healthy* dish!
