Method
- Cook the dried pappardelle pasta in a large pan of salted boiling water according to the pack instructions. Meanwhile, make the tapenade: whizz the olives, garlic, capers, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley and olive oil to a coarse paste in a food processor (or pound in a pestle and mortar). Taste and season with black pepper, a little salt and lemon juice.
- Lightly drain the pasta and toss with the tapenade. Dot it with the ricotta, scatter with fresh basil leaves and the toasted pine nuts, then roughly mix together and serve straightaway.
