- For the pasta dough
- 3.333 cups all-purpose flour
- 5 eggs

Preparation steps
1.
Place the flour, eggs and salt in a bowl and mix. Knead the dough for about 15 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and leave for 1 hour to rest. Roll out thinly on a floured surface to 12 x 8 ins (30 x 20 cm) or use a pasta machine if preferred. Cut into rectangles.
2.
Cook in boiling, salted water for 2 - 3 minutes until cooked, then remove and place on a paper towel to drain.
3.
In the meantime, break the tuna into small-size pieces. Peel the cucumber, cut into quarters lengthways and chop. Wash, halve, de-seed and chop the tomatoes. Cut the basil into strips.
4.
Mix the cucumber with the tomatoes, tuna, basil, olives, 3 tablespoons of olive oil and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5.
Place the cooked pasta sheets onto plates and drizzle some olive oil over the top. Put a few spoonfuls of tuna salad on the top and roll up. Season with salt and pepper and serve lukewarm or cold. Gernish with a few basil leaves.
