Preparation Wash the vegetables well. Slice the tender leaves of the radicchio finely and cut the tomatoes into small cubes.

Peel the onions and the cucumbers and slice them very finely. Break the Feta cheese into pieces and then put these ingredients into the salad bowl. Add the marjoram, salt, pepper and lastly 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. .

Boil the pasta and drain it 'al dente'. Run it under cold tap water. Add the other ingredients to the salad bowl. Mix well so that all the ingredients are mixed together well. Add the 2 remaining tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil just before serving
 
The Chef's tips If you have time, let the diced ingredients remain in the salad bowl for about 15/20 minutes before eating. Verdicchio dei castelli di Jesi DOC is a wine to be drunk with this dish.
