Ingredients

375 gram rigatoni pasta

600 gram lamb fillets

3/4 cup (115g) pitted black olives, halved

1 cup (150g) drained semi-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped coarsely

400 gram canned artichoke hearts, drained, halved

1 red onion (100g), sliced thinly

60 gram baby rocket leaves

1/2 cup (120g) green olive tapenade

2 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoon lemon juice

Method

1.Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water until tender; drain.

2.Meanwhile, cook lamb in a heated oiled large frying pan, over high heat, for 3 minutes each side or until cooked as desired. Remove from pan, cover; rest 5 minutes, then slice thickly.

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

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
