Not a salad, but an instruction on how to eat in the heat, when you don't want anything hot and heavy. Pasta plays the role of a carbohydrate component, it is colored by tomatoes, pesto sauce and yogurt. All in all - a light, juicy, satiating and refreshing snack, after which no "second course" is needed. For the full holiday experience, it is important that the pesto sauce is made here and now, in a kind of rough village spirit, if you have a blender, it will take no more than two minutes. With a greenish fine-grained mass from a tin, it will turn out completely wrong.

A recipe from a great friend of our editorial team, Italian chef Mirko Zago. With a quote from the author: "This sauce can be used for pizza, pasta, as a base for tomato soup (diluted with broth or water), it is deliciously thickly spread on bread, and we will dip croutons in it. The basis for this sauce is freshly squeezed tomato juice - it makes a smoother, more uniform and richer sauce than from pureed pulp. True, you will not need many more tomatoes for such a sauce.
