Anleitungen
- Bring a pot or saucepan of water to boil, add the pasta and cook it al dente according to the package instructions. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add a teaspoon of oil. Drain the corn and add it to the pan together with a generously pinch of salt. Fry it over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, wash and half the tomatoes, cut the sun-dried tomatoes into thin strips. Wash the arugula thoroughly and drain well. (Spin dry if possible)
- Remove the corn from the pan, add the remaining oil, tomatoes and the finely diced garlic. Sauté for a total of five minutes over medium heat.
- Meanwhile, drain the pasta and let in cool in a colander. Place the corn and sun-dried tomatoes in a large bowl, drain the tuna and add it as well. Add the pasta and the “tomato-garlic-dressing” and mix well. Then fold in the arugula and roughly grate the cheese on top by using a peeler.
Notizen
*For a vegetarian/vegan version, tuna can be substituted for fried tofu cubes or omitted altogether. Feel free to use protein pasta instead of regular whole wheat pasta if you still like your salad higher in protein.
