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

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 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

  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.

  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.
