We can't get enough of cold pasta! Here it is in marine version with shrimp, tuna, salmon and much more
Cold pasta and fish are two of the things we love most about summer. And we like them even more if eaten together. They unite indeed freshness, taste and lightness in dishes that taste of the sea and they know how to satisfy us even when the thermometer does not forgive and everything seems too hot to eat. Here then are ideas and recipes to prepare delicious cold fish-based pasta and never get bored.
Shrimp cold pasta
Let's start with easy things: the pasta and the prawns seem to have been born to be eaten together. They are perfect for exotic recipes with the addition of diced avocado, delicious if served with a spicy and delicate red sauce with simple seeded tomatoes and seasoned with extra virgin olive oil and salt. At the base of the success of the dish, the choice of fish and its cooking. If you choose red prawns for example, you can simply peel them and serve them raw, while for others we recommend parboiling the tails for a few seconds, then letting them cool before adding them to the pasta. But in any case … don't waste your heads! In fact, they will be perfect to prepare a sweet sauce or a comic strip for a risotto with seafood.
Cold pasta with tuna
This combination is the most frequent ever and we like it because it is very easy to prepare and can save us even when we have not done the shopping. To not make it banal, however, let's enrich it with grilled vegetables, pitted olives, diced cheese and boiled eggs. But if we like to dare we can try even more unusual roads such as mango or pineapple cut into cubes and seasoned with lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil and pepper.
Cold pasta with salmon
Whether it is fresh or smoked, the salmon is very suitable to be served with cold pasta. To try something different than usual, we recommend marinating smoked salmon with oil, lemon and pepper for about twenty minutes before adding it to the pasta. As for the fresh product instead, try to scald it slightly leaving it almost raw inside. Once cooled you will reduce it into cubes, add salt and pepper and serve with the pasta seasoned to taste with grilled cherry tomatoes and courgettes. To try something different, use natural salmon that is sold in tins just like tuna.
