Provided by Italian Recipe Book

Categories     Pasta

Number Of Ingredients 9

9 ounces short pasta like bowties (, farfalle or fussilli (250 grams))
9 ounces cherry tomatoes ((250 grams))
9 oz fresh mozzarella pearls or 2 mozzarella balls cut in cubes ((250 grams))
10 fresh basil leaves
Extra Virgin Olive oil
Salt
10 large fresh basil leaves
¼ cup Extra virgin olive oil ((50 grams))
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Start by bringing a large pot of water to boil. Add salt, about 1 tbsp for 3 quarts (3 liters) of water.
  • Once water is boiling drop pasta, give a quick stir and let cook until 'al dente' which literally means "to the tooth". Pasta cooked 'al dente' might feel slightly undercooked for anyone who is used to eat well-cooked or even overcooked pasta but in really it just has a slight bite to it.And this is exactly how we want to cook pasta for this pasta salad.
  • While pasta is cooking slice cherry tomatoes in half and drain mozzarella cheese from excess liquid. Mozzarella bites should about the size of cherry tomato halves. So if you're using large mozzarella balls cut it in cubes the size of the cherry tomato.
  • Prepare basil sauce. Wash and pat dry basil leaves. They should be completely dry to prevent the sauce from turning brown.Using a hand-held blender or food processor pulse basil leaves with extra virgin olive oil and a few pinches of salt until you get a smooth paste. Keep the remaining basil leaves for later to add directly to the salad and if you wish for garnish.
  • Once pasta is ready, drain it and quickly rinse with cold water.
  • Place in a large bowl with a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to prevent it from sticking as it cools. Let cool completely.
  • Add basil sauce and mix well.
  • Lastly add cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and remaining basil leaves torn by hand. Give a gentle toss and serve.

  • Cook pasta in a large pot of generously-salted boiling water al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and immediately rinse with cold water to stop the pasta from cooking.
  • Toss the pasta with the strawberries, mozzarella and basil. Pour half of the pasta into a serving bowl, and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Then pour the remaining half of the pasta on top, and drizzle with the balsamic glaze. Sprinkle with extra basil if desired. Also, if the pasta seems to dry, you can toss it with a tablespoon of olive oil.
  • *To make balsamic glaze homemade, whisk together 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar together in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, then reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes or until reduced by half. Give it a taste. If you think it needs sweetening, stir in a few teaspoons of sugar or honey.
