PASTA BANDIERA - ITALIAN FLAG PASTA SALAD



Pasta Bandiera - Italian Flag Pasta Salad image

This simple pasta salad is named for the Italian flag, which it echoes with its red, green and white ingredients. The better the tomatoes are, the better this dish.

EASY ITALIAN SALAMI PASTA SALAD



Easy Italian Salami Pasta Salad image

This is a recipe that is easy to make from ingredients that are often in the fridge/ storecupboard. If it is served straight after the minimum 30 minute chill time, you may find that there is a lot of dressing in the salad- this is so that it doesn't dry out if it is stored in the fridge for a few days. Serves 4 as a side dish but this would also make a good take-to work lunch or potluck dish.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups dry pasta (I use fusilli)
8 large slice salami (4oz)
10 -15 black olives
1/2 cup rehydrated sun-dried tomato
1 yellow bell pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, very finely grated
salt and pepper
10 -15 leaves fresh basil

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
  • Meanwhile, cut the salami into strips. Slice the black olives and dice the sundried tomatoes and bell pepper. Set all these ingredients aside.
  • In a large salad bowl, mix the olive oil and red wine vinegar. Whisk with a fork (or whisk) until they are completely blended and the dressing is a uniform colour throughout.
  • Add the parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to the dressing and mix.
  • When the pasta is cooked to your liking, remove it from the heat. Drain it and rinse it in cold water until the pasta is cold. Drain it again.
  • Add the cooled pasta and the chopped ingredients to the dressing in the bowl. Stir well to mix the ingredients together.
  • Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavours to blend.
  • Just before serving, scatter chopped fresh basil leaves over the top.

ITALIAN FLAG SALAD (CAPRESE)



Italian Flag Salad (Caprese) image

So elegant and so simple. This is my little adaptation of the classic Caprese salad...everything is the same except that the fresh basil has been replaced by purchased (or homemade if you have it on hand) pesto sauce. I like this version more because I think the salty/garlicky/nutty pesto does more for the other two ingredients.

Categories     Cheese

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 perfect ripe aromatic roma tomatoes
2 (4 ounce) fresh mozzarella balls (the kind in liquid)
1 (3 1/2 ounce) jar pesto sauce (or homemade if you have the inclination)
olive oil

Steps:

  • Make sure you serve this on a white platter!
  • Wash and dry the tomatoes.
  • Remove the stem and cut into slices, approximately 1/2 inch thick, lengthwise.
  • Arrange slices decoratively on platter.
  • Drizzle with just the barest amount of olive oil, sprinkle lightly with salt (sea salt is wonderful!) and coarsely ground, FRESH black pepper.
  • Cut the mozzarella into slices approximately 1/3 inch thick and arrange 1 slice of cheese per slice of tomato.
  • (the mozzarella balls available in Greece are pretty small- maybe 3-4oz).
  • What you want is a white slice of cheese just covering the tomato slice, but with the red of the tomato peeking through.
  • Dot each mozzarella round with 1/2 to 3/4 tsp of pesto.
  • Serve with lots of crusty bread!

CAULIFLOWER OLIVE ANTIPASTO SALAD

This salad, for olive lovers, is perfect for an antipasto offering. It has a zesty flavor and offers the bright colors of the Italian flag (red, green, white). If desired, add chunks of Italian Salami that taste wonderful after marinating in the lemony vinaigrette.
