Italian Style Summer Pasta Salad
Ingredients
- 500g pasta spirals, shells or bows
- 150mL Bulla Sour Cream
- 2 Tbsp basil pesto
- 1 Tbsp olive oil, plus extra for serving
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 210g bocconcini, completely drained and roughly torn into small bite size pieces
- 500g medley mixed cherry tomatoes
- 75g semi dried tomatoes, large ones quartered and smaller ones halved
- 3 Tbsp toasted pine nuts
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- small bunch fresh basil
- salt & pepper, to taste
Cooking Directions
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to boil and add the pasta. Follow packet cooking instructions for best results.
- Once cooked, rinse pasta under cold water to cool, drain and drizzle over olive oil to stop the pasta from sticking. Set aside in a large bowl until needed.
- Whisk together the Bulla Sour Cream, pesto and lemon juice. Once combined stir through the lemon zest and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add the Bulla Sour Cream dressing to the pasta and stir to combine, then stir through the bocconcini cheese, cherry tomatoes and semi dried tomatoes – reserving a handful for serving/garnish.
- To serve, place pasta salad in a large serving bowl or 8 to 12 smaller serving bowls and garnish with pine nuts, reserved cherry tomatoes and semi dried tomatoes, basil and a drizzle of olive oil.
