We’re not sure if this qualifies as a ‘salad’ but it’s certainly full of bright flavours with its fresh tomato sauce, Parmesan and abundance of basil. Fregola is a variety of toasted Sardinian pasta, but you could use this tomato sauce on other pasta shapes, such as spaghetti or linguine.
Cook the fregola in boiling salted water until al dente
Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small blender and whizz to a sauce consistency, seasoning well with salt and pepper
Serve the fregola on top of the sauce, with shavings of Parmesan, basil leaves and extra virgin olive oil to garnish
