Tuna Pasta Salad

Pasta (penne rigata), tuna, artichoke, sundried tomato, egg, spring onion.

Dressing of mayo, shallot, limejuice, thym, pepper, salt.

 

I prepare everything first (dressing, draining, chopping, etc) and then in the end I put everything together.

 

For pasta for two just mix together:

* 150-200g penne, drained, quickly rinsed with cold water, so it's still warm, but cold is okay too.

* 1 can of artichoke hearts, cut into small 1 x 2 cm pieces.

* dressing of

3 T mayo

2 t limejuice

1 shallot, chopped finely

1 T fresh thym (although I think just using fresh basil would have been nicer)

salt/pepper

 

Mix that thoroughly, then carefully mix/fould with:

1 pot of nice tuna in oil, broken into pieces

5 pieces of sundried tomatoes in oil, chopped in 1 x 0.5 cm pieces

2 spring onions, sliced thinly

 

Divide over 2 bowls, put the soft boiled egg on top. (one per person)

And like I said, I think I would have preferred a big handfull of fresh basil of maybe flatleave parsley.
