✅ Ingredients (for 2 people):
180 g of short pasta (I chose penne)
2 red bell peppers
100 g of yellow cherry tomatoes
2 carrots
1 celery stalk
1 chili pepper
80 g of tuna in olive oil
100 g of soft cheese, cubed, like Emmental
30 g of pitted green olives
Mayonnaise (I’ll post a video on preparation soon)
80 g of grated Parmigiano Reggiano
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
✅ Preparation:
▶️ Wash all the vegetables thoroughly.
▶️ Bring water to a boil in a saucepan.
▶️ Peel the carrots and dice them.
▶️ Dice the red bell peppers, removing the inner white parts.
▶️ Clean the celery stalk, removing the strings, and cut it into pieces.
▶️ Halve the yellow cherry tomatoes.
▶️ Halve the chili pepper and then cut it into pieces.
▶️ Salt the boiling water and cook the pasta al dente.
▶️ Drain the pasta and cool it under cold water.
▶️ Transfer the pasta to a large bowl.
▶️ Add the chopped vegetables and mix well.
▶️ Add the grated Parmigiano, diced cheese, olives, tuna, and pepper.
▶️ Mix everything well.
▶️ Add mayonnaise to taste and mix again.
▶️ Plate and serve your cold pasta!
✅ Tips:
You can replace the short pasta with another type of your choice.
If you don’t like chili peppers, you can omit them or reduce the amount.
If you don’t like or want to use mayonnaise, you could also use plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or even light spreadable cheese, if you prefer.
You can add other ingredients to your cold pasta, such as corn, beans, or black olives.
Cold pasta is perfect to bring to the beach, on trips, or to the office.
