Steps to cook
-
Prepare the ingredients. This is what's coming to your plate - prepare the ingredients in advance so the work goes smoothly 🍝🥗
-
Boil the water. Bring water to a boil in a pot or an electric kettle.
-
Cook the pasta. Once the water is boiling, salt it well and add the pasta. Cook according to the package instructions until al dente. If you don't feel like reading that, cook them for about 7-9 minutes as a guideline.
-
Cut the tomatoes. Wash the tomatoes and cut them in half.
-
Tear the mozzarella. Tear the mozzarella by hand into smaller pieces.
-
Drain the pasta. Drain the cooked pasta and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Transfer it to a large bowl.
-
Mix the salad. To the bowl with the pasta add the tomatoes, arugula and mozzarella. Add the pesto and olive oil and toss everything gently but thoroughly. If you want a more pronounced flavor, add a few drops of lemon juice or a good quality vinegar.
-
Serve. Top the salad with a few olives and serve immediately 🍽️✨
