Pasta Salad With Olives, Tomatoes And Walnuts

Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling, salted water until al dente then drain.

Put into a large salad bowl and leave to cool to room temperature.

Wash and slice the celery.

Peel the onion and cut into wedges.

Wash and halve the tomatoes.

Add the celery, olives, onions, walnuts and tomatoes to the pasta.

Add 60 ml olive oil, salt, plenty of pepper and the balsamic vinegar and mix well.

Check the seasoning and add more salt and vinegar if necessary.

Spoon on to plates, scatter generously with Parmesan shavings and serve. For a vegan version, you can simply avoid to add the Parmesan.
