amazing absolutely one of the best chefs ive had the honour to watch your recipes feed my 5 children happily they always ask for 2nd absolutely love good eaters ... happy tummys all round thanks to you

[@henryalianel9912]

Must say...I already cooked this recipe 3 times trying to find a flaw and there's none. Restaurant quality. Delish, quick and super-simple to make. The balance of non-competing flavors is so right & unique. It has become one of my favorite recipes. A seafood pasta to please both lovers and haters. Thank you Gennaro and Jamie for the happiness!

[@welshtoro3256]

I totally agree. I made it tonight and was transported to the Mediterranean. This is a dish that takes us to sun, sea, seafood and lemons. My wife is Spanish and we have a home near the coast in Andalusia which we're locked out of right now. This was the perfect antidote. It also takes me back to when I was an 11 year old boy in the 70s visiting southern Italy in the summer for the first time. It's so easy to make there's no excuse. Cheers. WT

[@henryalianel9912]

@@welshtoro3256 Next I'll try his mushroom risotto. I'm originally from Argentina of Italian extraction and Argentines are perhaps the only ones in the Spanish-speaking world who eat Risotto with such passion [most Hispanics eat white rice, or the Spanish (from Spain) multiple variations or even their own regional variations]. Until next one food-lover bro!

[@stevelogan5475]

Great recipe, especially quick,easy, and tasty, i live in U.S. i recommend bumble bee brand tuna over starkist,chicken of the sea, or store brands, it's inexpensive whether packed in oil or water, i prefer water because i am going to drain whatever liquid it is packed in and use fresh bottled extra virgin olive oil for the recipe, also prices of all i mentioned are very close in price whether chunk light tuna or solid white albacore. The tuna companies are starting to pack tuna in foil lined plastic tuna packages which i like because almost every fish or seafood product always seems to have a metallic, tinny after taste, tuna, anchovies,sardines, crab meat, whatever, so in my opinion and i cook a lot, buy in pouches or jars, over tin cans, God bless

[@Truther2001]

@Steve Logan you should buy the tuna WITH oil bcoz the oil acts as a binding agent for the heavy metals in the tuna! Then squeeze every last drop out and add your own EVOO. That's what I do.

[@julianriemer2916]

Grazie Gennaro...I love the way you talk about food and how much fun you have while cooking. Super 👍

I would literally try anything cooked by Gennaro. Cannot resist this guy!

[@gianragazzo754]

As an italian i can say that usually pasta with tuna is the classic pasta you make when you have to hurry up because is one of the quickest. Personally i like it with butter and parsley but i have never tried this with rucola (don't remember the english name and don't want to delete the comment to rewind the vid). Thanks gennaro, gonna try that.
