Pasta Fredda image

"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."

Number Of Ingredients 7

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Combine tomatoes, bocconcini, olives, olive oil, basil, and oregano in a large bowl; toss to evenly coat. Add pasta to tomato mixture and toss.
