What do you make for dinner when your mother really likes Vitello Tonnato? Exactly... Pasta Vitello Tonnato 🐖🐟🍝
***
Ingredients (2p):
• 200 gram pasta • rocket salad • cherry tomatoes • 1 can tuna in water (160 gram) • 5 tbsp mayonnaise • 1 lemon • 3 anchovy • pepper and salt • olive oil • water • tenderloin (or other lean pork meat) • capers •
1. Start with putting the tuna, mayonnaise, juice of half a lemon, the anchovy, some black pepper and 3 tbsp water in your kitchen machine and pulse a few times to make a nice sauce. It like mine smooth with only some texture of the tuna.
2. Boil salted water and cook your pasta.
3. While the pasta is cooking, cook/grill your tenderloin whole with some salt and pepper. Don't cook it for too long, it's OK when the middle is slightly light pink. I added the tomatoes into the pan to make sure they were no longer cold. This only needs a few minutes. Let the meat rest for a few minutes before you cut it into thin slices.
4. When the pasta is cooked, add 3 tbsp of your vitello tonnato sauce and a big tablespoon of capers together with a hand full of rocket salad and stir well. When it looks a bit dry, add some good olive oil. Don't be shy! Olive oil loves you too!
5. Put the pasta on the plate, together with the meat and add a generous amount of sauce. Add capers, tomatoes and some extra lemon and enjoy! This dish is best served at room temperature.
The sauce is also really lovely on a meat sandwich or with a salad.
