Easy Italian Pasta Salad Recipe

 

Ingredients:

ITALIAN DRESSING

• For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
• 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil,
• 1/4 cup of red or white wine vinegar (I prefer to use red),
• 1 1/2 tablespoons of freshly grated parmesan cheese (Note 1),
• 1 tablespoon of sugar (any),
• 1 large garlic clove, minced,
• 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil and oregano,
• 1/4 teaspoon of dried parsley,
• 1/2 teaspoon of dried chilli flakes (red pepper flakes),
• 3/4 teaspoons of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

PASTA SALAD

• It is recommended that there be a total of 300 grams (10 ounces) of spiral pasta, or any other type of pasta that you choose.
• There is 180 grams, which is comparable to six ounces, of salami that has been chopped and diced into batons that are the size of one inch or 2.5 centimeters. I make use of salami that has a flavor that is peppery.
• a baby bocconcini that has been cut in half and weighs seven ounces, which is equivalent to eight hundred grams
  The circumference of one red capsicum or bell pepper,

 

• cut into strips measuring three centimeters in length or two and a half centimeters in length, divided into those strips.
• Two hundred and fifty grams, which is equivalent to eight ounces, of whole olives were used in the preparation of this dish. I bought black olives from Sicily that had been pitted before I used them.
• Approximately one and a half punnets of cherry tomatoes from Australia, sliced in half, to make two cups of cherry tomatoes.
• There is one cup of fresh basil leaves that have been mashed together in a manner that is neat and compact

What goes in Italian Pasta Salad?

• It is true that Italian Pasta Salad has ingredients other than salami, despite the fact that I have been talking about it a lot.
• A salami
• Baby bocconcini,
• which are simply small balls of fresh mozzarella, are readily available at all supermarkets in Australia. I used baby bocconcini.
• tomato fruit, cherry
• bell pepper
• I use pitted black olives in addition to Sicilian olives because they are more in line with the concept.
  basil and spaghetti, of course!
  

 

Instructions:

• It is strongly suggested that you put all of the dressing components into a jar and give it a good shake before the dressing is used.
• The spaghetti should be prepared in accordance with the instructions that are printed on the package, with the exception of setting aside one minute. The following step is to pour it through a strainer, and then to rinse it
• under cold water in order to prevent it from simmering any longer.
• Consequently, it will not continue to cook as a result of this. Following the removal of any extra water from the liquid by the use of gentle shaking, the liquid should be transferred onto a big dish.
• The next step is to fill the bowl with the other ingredients for the pasta salad as they are prepared. Immediately after adding the dressing to the top of the salad, give it a good toss.
• Make certain that the food is served at room temperature during the meal.

 

Pasta Salad Dressing:

• Among all of the pasta salad dressings that I have ever tried, this Italian dressing is one of my favorites.
• In addition to the secret ingredient, which is parmesan cheese, dried herbs, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, a touch of honey, and a pinch of red pepper are also included.
• As soon as you pour the dressing over something, the parmesan cheese effortlessly melts into the dressing and imparts an additional flavor edge that makes the dish intolerable.
• Just by substituting garlic powder for fresh garlic, you can create a recipe for Italian Dressing that will become a staple in your kitchen and that you can always have on hand.
