pasta salad

Serves 4

Ingredients:

8oz (225g) pasta, such as penne, fusilli, or farfalle

2 tbsp mayonnaise

handful of wild arugula

1 cup cooked fresh or thawed frozen peas

6 cherry tomatoes, finely chopped

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method:

1 Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water for 10 minutes, or until it is cooked but still has a bit of bite to it. Drain, keeping back a tiny amount of the cooking water, return to the pan, and toss.

2 In a large bowl, mix together the pasta, mayonnaise, arugula, peas, and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until 1 hour before serving. Serve at cool room temperature.
