How To Make Pasta Salad with Pesto Begin by boiling the pasta in salted water. Be sure it is fully cooked, as pasta firms up at room temperature (you don't want al dente-cooked pasta for pasta salad). I like using salad leaves for pesto for variety, too, the peppery tang of rocket, the pop of colour from a beetroot leaf or baby chard, the sweet crunch of a tiny piece of spinach - and as an easy way towards five a day, hot and slathered all over slick soft pasta. May the reduced stickers be ever in your favour.
Instructions to make Pesto salad:
- Heat the chickpea pasta in a saucepan over medium heat until ready and set aside to cool
- Blend all of the pesto ingredients together until smooth and set aside
- Chop up all of the vegetables. Mix your desired amount of pesto into the pasta and then add the vegetables. Serve into bowls and enjoy!
- Leftover pesto can be frozen to use in the future or can be used as a dip
Make pesto: In a food processor puree basil, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper and pine nuts until smooth. With motor running, add olive oil and process until a thick paste forms. Season with more salt and pepper, if desired. I like a pesto vinaigrette on bitter leaves like watercress and rocket (another classic combination with pizza), but it also combines well with tomatoes or avocado, and would be good on a mixed salad too. Try it with Tuscan beans for a more substantial salad dish.
