The last Friday of every month we have our stall on the incredible Kendal Farmers Market (if you haven’t been yet, you must!) And this is where we stumbled across, or rather one of our lovely customers, wrote down this fabulous recipe for us.
Originating from the side of a Tabasco bottle from way back when, this pasta salad packs a punch, with all the fresh, light flavours of the fish and seafood making it perfect for the sunnier days that are just around the corner.
If you have a recipe you think we might enjoy, let us know! Whether it is on the back of your shopping list at a market or via email we always love new recipe ideas: hello@northernpasta.co.uk
