Carefully flake the tuna into large pieces atop the other ingredients and fold everything together gently from underneath with a large spatula. (This recipe can be prepared up to this point 2 to 3 hours ahead.) Shortly before serving, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the rigatoni according to package directions.
