From All You Magazine. You can use bow ties or any tubular or spiral pasta in this salad. Instead of feta, you can substitute chunks of mozzarella if you prefer. Ingredients:
1 lb pasta |
1 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, drained and chopped |
1/2 cup black olives or 1/2 cup green olives, pitted and chopped |
4 ounces feta, crumbled (about 1 cup) |
1/2 cup olive oil |
1/2 cup red wine vinegar |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
9 fresh basil leaves, torn into large pieces |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add pasta and bring back to a boil. Cook, stirring often, until pasta is tender but not mushy, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Drain again.
2. Transfer to a large bowl and add tomatoes, olives and feta. Stir in olive oil, vinegar and lemon juice. Add basil, toss well and season with salt and pepper.
