Prepare this hearty Mediterranean pasta salad and let it stand for as long as possible in the refrigerator: the aromas and flavours of the ingredients will be bursting out! Another tip: when you drain your pasta before adding the sauce, run it under cold water to stop it from cooking any further and then add a little extra virgin olive oil. It’s a perfect condiment for cold pasta because it prevents it from clogging up and getting all sticky!

If you like garlic, don’t be afraid to use lots: it should be enjoyed in abundance. It is great for keeping your blood pressure low, controlling your cholesterol levels and is an antioxidant.
