• 15ml olive oil

Method

1. Step 1 — Prep ingredients
   Cut the capsicum into 2cm chunks. Trim the beans and cut into thirds on an angle. Crush or finely chop 1 garlic clove. Finely grate the zest of half the lemon, then juice the half. Cut remaining lemon into wedges. Tear smoked salmon into smaller pieces. Combine lemon zest, lemon juice and 1 tbs mayonnaise in a bowl. Taste, then season with salt and pepper.
2. Step 2 — Toast breadcrumbs
   Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a large frypan over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and garlic and cook, stirring, for 3-4 mins until fragrant and golden. Remove from the pan.
3. Step 3 — Soften veggies
   Heat 2 tsp olive oil in the pan over medium-high heat and cook the capsicum and beans, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 mins until softened.
4. Step 4 — Warm pasta
   Meanwhile, massage the packet of pasta to loosen and tear a 2cm opening for the steam to escape. Heat in the microwave for 90 secs or until warmed through.
5. Step 5 — Serve up
   Add the pasta and dressing to the capsicum mixture and toss to combine. Remove the pan from the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper. Divide the pasta salad among bowls. Top with the smoked salmon, scatter over the crispy crumbs and serve with the lemon wedges to squeeze over. Enjoy!
6. Step 6 — Make it herby
   If you have some on hand, scatter over some chopped basil, parsley, chives or dill for a burst of freshness.
