Quick pasta salad
This quick pasta salad is super simple and it's perfect if you want to plan your meals in advance to save time. Basically you can make a pasta salad with pretty much whatever you like, but there are some ingredients that definitely work better than others.
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 380 gr of short pasta
- 3 tomatoes I used a wonderful orange tomato type that look like an apricot
- 2 tbsp of sun-dried tomato spread
- 1 tbsp of capers
- 2 tbsp of olives
- 1 tsp of basil pesto optional
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil the pasta (you can take a look at my post to learn how to cook pasta like an Italian).
- Chop the tomatoes, capers and olives.
- While the pasta is cooking, take a large bowl and add all the other ingredients, then season with salt pepper and extra virgin olive oil.
- Drain the pasta and cool it under running cold water, or put it into a large bowl with icy water.
- Add the pasta into the bowl with the seasoning and mix well, and now you're good to go!
