Method
Tip
If preparing in advance at home, no need to pre-cook the pastina. Just allow it to rest with all the ingredients in the fridge overnight and it will absorb all the juices from the tomatoes, cucumber, lemon juice and olive oil.
Step 1
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook pastina for 3 minutes, drain well, and place on a sheet tray with a drizzle of olive oil to cool.
Step 2
Meanwhile, place remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix.
Step 3
Return pastina to the bowl and mix well.
Step 4
Adjust seasonings and reserve several hours before serving.
