This pasta salad with sun-dried tomatoes, feta, and pesto is our go-to for a picnic or summer lunch, as it is both fresh and hearty.
Preparation
Spread the pine nuts on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven at 180°C (350°F) fan-forced for about 10 minutes, keeping an eye on them.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the peas, and cook for a few minutes. Remove the peas with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In the same boiling water, cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
Cut the feta into cubes, as well as the drained sun-dried tomatoes.
Finely chop the spring onion.
In a large salad bowl, combine the cooled farfalle and peas, feta, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, spring onion, parmesan shavings, and pesto.
Add a drizzle of olive oil, adjust seasoning if necessary, and sprinkle with a few fresh basil leaves. Enjoy!
Our tip
Rinse the pasta with cold water after cooking and drizzle with a little olive oil: they won't stick together as they cool and will remain pleasant in a salad.
Variation
Add diced grilled chicken or shrimp for a more substantial salad.
