Pasta Salad with Pesto
|
2 pounds, macaroni or farfalle
6 large, ripe tomatoes, peeled and seeded
4 roasted peppers, peeled and cut into thin strips
24 Greek olives, halved and pitted
1 cup, Feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup, Genovese pesto sauce
1 cup, fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 cup, freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon, coarsely ground pepper
2 tablespoons, red wine vinegar
12 quarts water
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
|
Boil water in large pasta stockpot, adding a pinch of salt and a few drops
of olive oil.
Cook until tender, remove from pasta pot, drain, while
mixing in a few more drops of oil.
Plunge tomatoes into boiling water and
remove when skin splits, which will allow them to be easily peeled and
seeded.
Cut tomatoes into quarters and add to mixing bowl.
Slice
roasted, marinated peppers into
1/2" strips, and add to mixing bowl.
Add halved and pitted Greek olives,
crumbled Feta cheese, pesto sauce, pepper, a few drops of red wine
vinegar, and about 1/2 of the grated Parmesan cheese and parsley.
Mix
thoroughly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or more before serving.
Sprinkle
remainder of parsley and Parmesan when serving.
Serves 6 to 8, with
French bread, wine and dessert, or 10 to 12 as appetizer.
Enjoy with our 2005 Sauvignon Blanc.
