Ingredients
- 200 g mozzarella balls
- 250 g baby plum tomatoes
- 1 bunch fresh basil
- 350 g farfalle
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 40 g Green Olives
- 200 g tuna
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil.
- Add the farfalle, stir once, and cook for about 10 minutes, or as directed on the packet.
- Meanwhile, quarter the tomatoes, slice the olives, and wash the basil.
- Put the tomatoes in a salad bowl, tear the basil leaves over them, add a tablespoon of the olive oil, and toss.
- When the pasta is done, drain it and run cold water over it to cool it quickly.
- Tip the pasta into the bowl with the tomatoes and basil.
- Add the sliced olives, drained mozzarella, and chunks of tuna. Toss well and let the salad rest at least half an hour so the flavours can mingle.
- Just before serving, add a generous grind of black pepper and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
