Buon giorno a tutti !. Do you like the Italian cuisine? I hope so because today I bring you one pasta salad very simple and fresh, with tomato and basil. When I look for recipes from other countries I like to do it in their own language and I saw this recipe on the web my cucino, which you can access if you prefer to see it in its original language. And, for those of you who find it easier to read the recipe in Spanish than in Italian, right now, I'll tell you about it!
Degree of difficulty: Very easy
Time of preparation: 15 minutes (+ rest time if desired)
Ingredients for 4 people:
- Pasta to taste (in my case spirals)
- 3 tomatoes
- 15 sheets of basil (she puts 20)
- 1 tooth of it
- 2 or 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Sal Island
Preparation:
Wash the tomatoes well and boil them for a few minutes, until you can easily remove the skin (but wait for them to cool, they burn).
Once peeled, cut them into small pieces and set them aside. On the other hand, it grinds the Basil leaves along with the it, olive oil and shawl. Add everything to tomatoes and mix well, let it rest for at least half an hour.
Once the time has passed, boil the pasta according to the manufacturer's instructions (although one day I have to explain how they do it in Italy, it doesn't stick to them!) And add it to the previous mixture. Ready to serve! You already have your tomato basil pasta salad prepared.
When serving ...
At home we eat it as a single dish and we all love it like that, but it could be served as a first course or as a side to some fish, chicken, etc.
Recipe suggestions:
You can add more ingredients, my favorite options are boiled eggs or olives, although of course you can add what you like the most.
The best…
Once the pasta is seasoned, leave it in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. The aroma and flavor of all its ingredients will be impregnated in the pasta and, although it is a pasta salad Very simple and with hardly any ingredients, it will stay among your favorites.
