Herbed Pasta Salad

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper 1 1/2 pounds orecchiette, or other short pasta 1/3 cup olive oil 4 garlic cloves, sliced 1 cup chopped fresh basil leaves 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and rinse pasta under cold water; leave in colander and set aside.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat oil and garlic over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant and sizzling, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes.

Pour garlic oil through a sieve into a large bowl; discard garlic. Add pasta and herbs to oil. Season generously with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, chilled or at room temperature.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/28/2010   This is a light, tasty salad for a summer lunch! I made the following adjustments; whole wheat pasta, extra basil (have a bounty of it this summer) and chives. I would have added the parsley if I had it on hand. I also added a splash of lemon juice and left the roasted garlic in the oil. Very nice!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/20/2008   NIce salad to take to pot-lucks and just diffrent enough that there is no left-overs to take back home.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/19/2008   I also add fresh chives a bit of fresh lemon balm and apple cider vinegar for a gentle zip. You can turn the whole thing into a meal by throwing in some beans and crunchy veggies...tastes best the second day and keeps for many days in the fridge.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/13/2008   This is an easy and delicious dish. 1.5 pounds of pasta makes WAY more than 8 servings though....We had eight people at our potluck picnic and everyone had plenty and took leftovers and I still have several servings left. I think it would have been fine to just use a pound. The olive oil is so good that it would probably be OK to keep the rest of the ingredient amounts the same.
