The cold pasta with grilled vegetables and tuna, which I cooked on a hot and sultry day, is a dish I recommend trying, guaranteed for a good result. A truly tantalizing main course. In summer, grilled vegetables are also much appreciated. They are usually prepared as a side dish. A nutritious, appetizing, and fresh main course with vegetables that help replenish the minerals and fluids our body especially needs in summer. The cold pasta with grilled vegetables is a practical dish that can also be cooked in advance and taken ready to the beach or for an outdoor picnic.

First, prepare the vegetables. Wash and dry zucchinis and bell peppers and cut into thin strips. Grill on the griddle for about ten minutes, turning the vegetables with two forks for even cooking.
In a large pan, brown the crumbled bread in hot oil with a clove of garlic and combine with bell peppers, zucchinis, capers, pitted green olives, and tuna.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta al dente in a pot of boiling water for seven/eight minutes and drain. Pour the pasta with the grilled vegetables, toss in the pan, and serve.

Finally, this recipe is not exclusively for summer.
Even though vegetables abound, prefer homegrown ones.
Therefore, take advantage of the right time.
Cold Pasta with Grilled Vegetables
Cold pasta with grilled vegetables is a complete and tantalizing dish for the summer season. Tips: If possible, entrust the task of grilling the vegetables to your husband, especially when on vacation. They generally do it willingly and well. 🙂 The stale bread can naturally be replaced with breadcrumbs, which could be toasted in a pan and added at the end.
