The art of Italian cooking: pasta salad with mackerel and tomatoes

Hi, this is the fifty eighth post about the art of cooking Italian pasta.

Today’s post is dedicated to a pasta salad recipe idea that uses mackerel and ripe tomatoes as main ingredients.

This pasta salad is made with wholemeal pasta for an healthier recipe.

Here’s the recipe! It tastes fantastic and smells fantastic!

Pasta salad with mackerel and ripe tomatoes

It’s a tasty one-plate meal. Why is it a single-course meal?

In the same dish there are  all the nutrients necessary for an healthy diet: carbohydrates, sugar, protein, fat, vitamin and minerals

Pasta  is source of carbohydrates

Mackerel is source of protein

Tomatoes are source of minerals and vitamins

Olive oil, to be used without cooking to preserve its important nutritive properties,  is source of fat. Be careful with fat amount. The right dose is 3 tablespoons per head every day.

Generally we add a lot of aromatic herbs for a tastier dish and we don’t use salt. It’s important for people who have to control the salt amount.
