The beauty of this pasta salad is how simple it is to prepare. Once you have your ingredients, it is all about cooking the spaghetti, and then it is ready to enjoy.
This dish is a perfect blend of fresh Flavors and is best served as soon as it is tossed to ensure the mozzarella’s creamy texture enhances the whole experience.
Ingredients
-
200g quality spaghetti*
- 10 ripe cherry tomatoes, halved
-
Generous handful of Mount Zero Pitted Kalamata Olives
-
Sprinkle of baby capers, rinsed
-
Handful of basil leaves, torn
-
1 ball of buffalo mozzarella, torn into rough chunks
-
Generous drizzle of Mount Zero Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil
-
Mount Zero Pink Lake Salt, to taste
Directions
Place all the ingredients into a stainless steel bowl.
- Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente (about 3 minutes for fresh pasta). Drain and toss into the bowl with the other ingredients.
- The pasta is best served immediately, with the mozzarella starting to melt into the warm pasta. Toss it well and enjoy!
Recipe Note
*We are using fresh bronze-extruded pasta, but dried pasta works just as well. You can also substitute with Casarecce, Orzo, Penne, or other pasta shapes to your preference.
