How to Cook Pasta Salad
- Cook the pasta in a large pan of salted boiling water until al dente (check the instructions on the packet for best results). Drain the pasta, rinse in cold water, drain again, then tip it into a large bowl.
- Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Halve and stone the olives and roughly crumble the Feta. Add the halved tomatoes to the pasta and sprinkle with sea salt. Add the olives, feta and spinach and drizzle with the lemon-infused olive oil. Add the pine nuts and basil and toss gently before serving.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
Add a generous splash of olive oil to the water that you boil your pasta in. It helps to stop the pasta sticking.
Reviews of Pasta Salad
 August 11 2014This was absolutely delicious! Made it exactly as written. Nice change from the same old boring lunch routine. Thomas (5 reviews) |
 June 08 2014This is very good - an excellent summer meal. Fast, easy and fresh. A splash of white balsamic, a pinch of sugar and a pinch of red pepper flakes would take this over the top. I would also think that a healthy sprinkling of Parmesan would be wonderful - but it's still good just as it is. allisonanddesmond (1 review) |

Other Pasta Recipes
If proof was ever needed that pasta need not be uninteresting, Spaghetti a la Carbonara is it! To me, this dish is the monarch of the pastas.
Macaroni Cheese is definitely one of my favourites and is really very easy to make. No need to serve anything with it... just on its own is fine!
Creamy Ham, Leek and Mushroom Spaghetti proves that, for slimmers, those mouth-watering creamy pasta dishes needn't be on the 'forbidden' menu list.
