Back in Town

Back from my holiday I have a nice, fresh recipe that will be easy to make in advance and you will love on a sunny day.
So the recipe is a pasta dish that you serve cold and if you prepare it in the morning is very nice at lunch time after been stored in the fridge for two hours, so remember this recipe is for the summer that we have just had a taste of and is hopefully coming soon.

Insalata di pasta

For 4 people

280 gr short pasta
16 large green olives
2 table spoon salted capers
6 spring onions
16 cherry tomatoes
4 fillets of marinated anchovy or salted anchovy
pinch of oregano
80 cl of E.V.Olive oil
Juice of two lemons and zest of one lemon
300 gr tinned tuna in olive oil try to find some good one
Pinch of salt
Pinch of chilli
200 gr peeled fresh prawns or nice prawns in brine
4 handfuls of wild rocket salad

Boil the pasta and take it off when still al dente, then drain and leave for few minutes in ice and water, then in a large bowl add all ingredients apart from the lemon juice and salt and rocket, and make sure the cherry tomatoes are halved.
Mix in the pasta and store in a fridge for two hours,20 min. before serving take it out of the fridge add the juice and the salt, mix well and let it come to room temperature, finish by mixing the rocket and serve with a glass of Fiano di Avellino, one of my favourite wines.

Buon appetito
