Let’s get cooking

Method

Cook the macaroni in plenty of water with a pinch of salt according to the packet. Drain, briefly cool under water and drain thoroughly. Dice the watermelon and feta and slice the black olives into rings.
Cut the tuna into 2 cm cubes. Heat 20 g oil, add the chopped garlic for 30 seconds, then the fish and pepper. Sauté for 4–6 minutes until opaque and flaking easily. Remove and let the intense heat subside for a few minutes.
Blend the basil with the other 40 g oil, lime juice and vinegar. Combine the pasta with the watermelon, feta, olives and tuna with its juices. Add the dressing and fold gently.
Finish with parsley and serve on four plates. If not serving straight away, cool quickly and keep refrigerated.
