    Place pasta and lamb in a large bowl with remaining ingredients; toss gently to combine. Season to taste. Serve warm

Notes

Rigatoni, a tube-shaped pasta with ridges on the outside, is perfectly suited to this salad: its wide hollow centre captures the dish's other ingredients and the dressing clings to the pasta's indentations. You can use black olive tapenade in this recipe, if you prefer
