Pasta salad with cherry tomatoes and pesto vinaigrette
Ingredients :
250 grams pasta ( bow-tie pasta will make a pretty dish )
1 large clove garlic
1/4 cup fresh basil
1/4 cup parsley
1/4 cup nuts of your choice ( cashews, pine etc )
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp sugar
12-15 cherry tomatoes , cut in half
freshly ground pepper and salt.
Method :
Cook pasta. Drain , rinse and drain again and set it aside.
In a blender , blend the garlic, fresh basil, parsley, vinegar, oil, Parmesan, nuts , water and sugar. Blend till almost smooth unless you like your pesto to be a bit crunchy.
Pour the pesto over the pasta. Add the cherry tomatoes, salt and pepper. Toss till well coated. You can make this salad way ahead and let it sit in the refrigerator. Mix well before serving. You can sprinkle some freshly toasted nuts of your choice.
