Ingredients:
1/2 pound whole wheat fusilli pasta
Salt
Extra virgin olive oil
1 pound ripe tomatoes, medium-diced
3/4 cup kalamata, pitted and diced
1/2 pound reduced fat feta cheese, medium-diced
6 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
For the dressing:
5 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, diced
1 teaspoon capers, drained
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 cup packed flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water with a splash of oil to keep it from sticking together. Boil for 12 minutes, or according to the directions on the package. Drain well and allow to cool. Place the pasta in a bowl and add the tomatoes, olives, feta and chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
For the dressing, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, capers, salt and pepper in a food processor until almost smooth.
Pour the dressing over the pasta, sprinkle with the Parmesan and parsley, and toss well.
Glad to hear you're getting settled in CA! You should check out this book called Plate to Pixel about how to photograph food. I've been meaning to read it and have heard what a great guide it is for teaching beginners how to photograph food.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I'll definitely check it out. Taking pictures of food is more difficult than one might think.
