I never thought tuna would be so yummy! This was a really enjoyable dish. I did not have pesto sauce mix, so I just made a white sauce with butter, garlic, flour and milk, then added everything to it. Also added a sprinkling of red pepper flakes. We'll be making this again.

I was not fond of this recipe. I'm not sure if I disliked the creamy pesto mix (first time using it) or if the pesto and tuna flavors were competing, but it just was not appealling. It was a bit bland. It may be good with homemade creamy pesto made with fresh basil and garlic. Also, I think shrimp would be better with these ingredients than tuna. I followed the recipe exactly.

I didn't have pesto sauce mix or mushrooms, so I used 1/2 cup of dried basil and half a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup (although it probably would have been fine with the whole can). I tried it with only two cans of tuna like a few reviews said, and because I wanted to make sure it was a good recipe before I used all of my tuna in it (haha), but I'll definitely use three next time. I sprinkled a little garlic salt and parmesan cheese on top at the end. It was delicious! Thanks!

I made this dish with garlic cream mix since there was no pesto, doubled everything to make enough... It was ok but quite bland - needed more seasons. Probably wont be making this one again.

This is a keeper for our family. I don't eat meat and I can easily leave the tuna out of this or take my share before adding the tuna last. The only change I made was to replace the milk with 1/4 cup of olive oil and a 1/2 cup of water for a healthier alternative, which is on the back of the pesto mix packet. This was delicious and I will be making it again soon, I highly recommend it!

Really good for a canned tuna recipe! I'm impressed. I did have to make some changes, mostly because I couldn't find the creamy pesto sauce mix. I did find a non-creamy pesto sauce mix (Simply Organic Sweet Basil Pesto - 0.53 oz) and used that instead. The directions on the packet said to use 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/2 cup water, so I used that instead of the margarine and milk. To make it more rich in nutrients, I used a whole 8 oz. carton of mushrooms and doubled the spinach. We topped it off with parmesan cheese and it was a delightful meal!

I was so suprised at how much my family enjoyed this! I used egg noodles instead of bowtie and added broccoli, carrots and parmesan cheese.

I cooked the tomatoes and mushrooms with the pasta for 5 minutes. And I "cooked" the spinach by draining the pasta over it (works perfectly every time.) I think it needs some cheese. Tastes good cold too.

This was really, really good. Even my husband, who rarely comments about dinner, was raving about it to his co-workers. Substituted Whole Wheat bow ties, used a couple teaspoons of jarred pesto (couldn't find the mix), and omitted the tomatoes (couldn't find any really good ones). Definitely a keeper!
