Penne With Tuna And Capers
So this was the first time I made this recipe. The boy loved it right away. Even the baby girl liked it. I wasn't blown away at first, (which surprised me because I love capers and tuna) but the flavor grew on me as I ate it. I believe I got the recipe from one of the several emailed recipes of the day. (Chow, Fine Cooking, allrecpies etc...) I made it tonight because the Husband was working and not a fan of canned tuna. I didn't take a picture because I was told my last pictures weren't good enough to show how it really looked (ahem I'm talking to you my most excellent husband:P), and it wasn't the prettiest dish. I used whole wheat penne too which didn't add to the eye appeal. All in all, I liked it because it felt light, it was something I can make out of ingredients I always have on hand, and it was fast. All making it for a good weeknight meal.
