  2. Combine tuna, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and capers in the bowl of a food processor, blend until smooth and creamy. Add to the penne and mix until well combined. Add corn, bell pepper, and cucumber and toss together. Spoon into a serving dish. Arrange quartered eggs on top.

Recipe Note

This is an Italian recipe, very nice for the summer months! It has cucumber in it, which I don't like, but my husband does, so I just add cucumber to his individual portion.
