Pasta primavera recipe
Pasta primavera recipe, this easy pasta salad recipe is one of those healthy lunch recipes as it contains raw olive oil and fresh ingredients. I use to prepare this recipe of pasta primavera quite often during Summertime.
This is my favourite recipe for pasta salad.
You'll need (for 4 people):
• 4 tomatoes cut in cubes
• about 3 Italian mozzarella (0.66lb at all)
• basil leaves
• garlic
• extra virgin olive oil
• 4 cups of short pasta
• salt
How to prepare:
While boiling the water, take a piece of garlic and "rub" it against the serving bowl. It will give aroma without leaving the garlic strong taste.
Add the cut tomatoes, the mozzarella cut in cubes, the basil leaves, salt and add abundant extra virgin olive oil and mix it all.
When the pasta is done, strain it with a colander and spread it with some cold water from the tap (the water will drain through the colander and will lower the pasta temperature, otherwise it could melt the mozzarella).
Then add the pasta to the tomato mix and mix it well. Leave it rest for a couple of hours if you have the time, mixing it once in a while. In case you don't have time to let it rest, no problem. It is good even ate while still warm.
Tip: Do not use buffalo mozzarella as it "waters" too much.
