Chilled Pasta Salad
Ingredients
  • 1 (8 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
  • 20 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 7 ounces bocconcini (small balls of fresh mozzarella cheese)
  • 3/4 cup black olives
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 fresh basil leaves
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh oregano leaves
Instructions
1
Begin by filling a large container with salted water, then place it on the stovetop and bring the liquid to a rolling boil.
2
Next, cook the bow-tie pasta in the boiling water for 12 minutes or until it reaches an al dente texture, where it still has a bit of firmness in the center; remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
3
To prepare the salad, combine diced tomatoes, bocconcini cheese, pitted green olives, a generous amount of olive oil, chopped fresh basil leaves, and dried oregano in a spacious bowl.
4
Mix all the ingredients together until they are evenly coated with the olive oil and herbs, creating a harmonious balance of flavors.
5
Finally, add the cooked bow-tie pasta to the bowl with the tomato mixture and gently toss everything together until the pasta is well combined with the other ingredients.
