1.Cook the risoni in a large saucepan of boiling salted water according to packet instructions. Drain in a sieve and cool under cold running water. Toss in a bowl with 1 tbs oil and set aside. Bring another saucepan of salted water to the boil and blanch green and yellow beans for 2 minutes, then add sugar snaps and cook for a further minute or until al dente. Drain and plunge into iced water to cool completely, then drain. Cut beans and sugar snaps into bite-size pieces. Add the beans and tomatoes to risoni.

2.For pesto, whizz all the ingredients in a blender until smooth. Season

3.Heat a frying pan to high heat. Brush remaining oil all over tuna and season. Sear tuna for 30 secods each side – you want the tuna to remain rare inside. Cool briefly, then thinly slice.

4.Mix three-quarters of the pesto into risoni mixture and season. Place on a large platter, top with tuna, eggs and extra herbs and serve with remaining pesto alongside
