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.
