Very yummy dish. It was a little hard to get my children to eat, but once they began it went over well. My husband suggested trying it with Chicken next time, so maybe we will. All in all very good!

Made a cheese sauce instead of the creamy pesto mix as we don't seem to have that at my local grocery stores. Quick and easy dinner.

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!
