Tip
Vary the recipeThis dish works well with any other short pasta shape – penne, fusilli or farfalle – just use what you’ve got in the cupboard. Any leftovers will keep in the fridge for lunch the next day.
Method
Cook the pasta following pack instructions, then drain and rinse in cold water. After draining again, transfer to a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients except the basil, season well, and toss to combine. Scatter with basil and serve.
