olive oil

shallots, finely sliced

anchovy fillets, chopped

black olives

cherry tomatoes, halved

Juice of ½ lemon.

tuna

fresh parsley

Garnish with hard-boiled eggs (optional), peeled and halved

Cook pappardelle or pasta shapes of your choice in a saucepan of boiling salted water according to pack instructions. When the pasta has a few minutes left, add the green beans and cook until both are al dente.

Drain, reserving 2 tbsp of the cooking water. In a bowl, mix the pasta and beans with 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil and the cooking water.

Meanwhile, heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat and gently fry the shallots, for 5 minutes.

Add the anchovy, capers, rinsed, black olives, halved, and the cherry tomatoes, halved. Warm for 3-4 minutes, then remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.

Drain the canned tuna, flake and stir into the pasta with the sauce and a handful chopped fresh parsley. Divide between bowls and garnish with hard-boiled eggs (optional), peeled and halved.

A gentle twist on the French classic, this gorgeous salad is full of fresh, summery flavours.
