How to make the fresh pasta salad with salmon

• Bring water to the boil, add some herb salt and the buckwheat pasta. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, then taste to see whether the buckwheat pasta is done. Make sure the pasta remains al dente. After cooking, drain the pasta and briefly rinse it with cold water so it doesn’t become too sticky. Then drizzle the pasta with olive oil.
• Put the buckwheat pasta in a bowl and mix in 1 teaspoon of pesto. Add finely chopped smoked salmon, halved cherry tomatoes and rocket. Mix everything together well.
• Heat the pine nuts for a few minutes in a preheated oven at 200 °C.
• Shave the pecorino with a cheese slicer. Finish the salad with the roasted pine nuts and cheese.
