Cold or warm and simple pasta ‘salad’. A recurrent dish in Italy during the warm/hot seasons. Best served with a light, dry white wine. Serve lukewarm or cold. The more it is allowed to sit, the more the flavors attach to the other ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
- 20 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 7 ounces bocconcini (small balls of fresh mozzarella cheese)
- ¾ cup black olives
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 fresh basil leaves
- 1 ½ teaspoons fresh oregano leaves
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain and cool to room temperature.
Step 2
Combine tomatoes, bocconcini, olives, olive oil, basil, and oregano in a large bowl; toss to evenly coat. Add pasta to tomato mixture and toss.
Cook’s Note:
Any variety of pasta corta (short pasta), such as fusilli or penne can be used on place of the farfalle.
