Shrimps & Tuna Summer Pasta Salad
Are you ready for a summer cold pasta salad the more appetizing you've ever tasted?
If yes, you have the right spirit to discover this recipe. This pasta salad will catapult you into a "sea" of tastes and smells of summer.
All the list of ingredients necessary: shrimps and tuna (not bad, eh?). Continuing with tomatoes, peas, capers, lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil. So, what do you think? Your mouth is watering isn't it?
I have chosen a special pasta for this recipe called “cellentani”
(I don’t do this often), but other short pasta go equally well. You
might like short rigatoni, trofie or typical penne which are prefect.
Now you have all the freedom to tweak with mayonnaise if you like. But, if I was you I wouldn’t make it too heavy and overwhelm the delicate taste. Instead of pasta salads, mayonnaise is better for potato salads.
