Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil.
  2. Add the farfalle, stir once, and cook for about 10 minutes, or as directed on the packet.
  3. Meanwhile, quarter the tomatoes, slice the olives, and wash the basil.
  4. Put the tomatoes in a salad bowl, tear the basil leaves over them, add a tablespoon of the olive oil, and toss.
  5. When the pasta is done, drain it and run cold water over it to cool it quickly.
  6. Tip the pasta into the bowl with the tomatoes and basil.
  7. 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.
  8. Just before serving, add a generous grind of black pepper and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
