Ingredients
- 200 grams Pasta
- 1/2 can Canned diced tomatoes (or canned whole tomatoes)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice (you can use vinegar as a substitute)
- 2 cm Prepared garlic paste in tube (or 1 teaspoon grated fresh garlic)
- 1 Salt and pepper
- 2 leaves Basil (if available)
- 1 Cured ham (or roast ham)
- 1 for garnish, if available Pea shoots
Method
- While the pasta is boiling add the ingredients to a bowl, mix, and chill in the refrigerator.
- (Or, if you'd been storing your canned diced tomatoes at room temperature, chill in the freezer.)
- For the sauce, the lemon juice is optional since the tomatoes are acidic on their own.
- You could also finely chop the basil and then sprinkle it on top later.
- (I don't like the taste of fresh basil so I just use it as a bit of flavoring.
- You don't have to add it.)
- Rinse off the pasta in cold water to cool it off, then chill in ice water.
- Once the pasta is chilled, remove the ice and drain.
- Transfer the pasta to a serving dish and top with the sauce.
- If you're feeling lazy, you can just add the pasta to the bowl of sauce.
- Top with cured ham and pea shoots for garnish.
- It's done.
- If you don't like cured ham you can substitute with canned tuna, or roast ham, although you'll need a knife for that.
