Quick & Delicious Cold Pasta with Canned Tomatoes step by step
- 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..
