For pranzo (lunch) today, I made a quick bowl of pasta. I used fresh pomodorini (little tomatoes), zucchini, cipolle bianca (white onion), and olio di oliva, cooked it up for about 15 minutes with a little sale marino (sea salt), then added some tonno e pisselli (tuna and peas). The tuna and peas are canned together in a tomato sauce and they blended perfectly with the other veggies and sauce from the fresh tomatoes. While the veggies blended together, I heated the water and cooked up some ditalini pasta. Then I mixed it all together and plated. Just before I ate this pasta, which was full of flavor, I added some freshly grated grana padano cheese. It was a simple dish made with things many people here have in the house.
