Sundried tomato pasta salad

By Abigail Donnelly

Serves 4 to 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

3 T olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
240 g Woolworths sundried tomato quarters, brine included
20 g Italian parsley, finely chopped
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 fresh tomatoes, cubed
500 g rigatoni, cooked al dente
250 g ricotta or feta
lemon juice, for serving

Method

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat, then add the garlic and sundried tomatoes and their brine. Cook for 5–10 minutes, mashing the tomatoes using a potato masher so that they break up a bit.

2. Remove from the heat, then add the parsley and seasoning.

3. Add the fresh tomatoes to the pan, then toss the pasta and ricotta through the crushed tomatoes and serve with a squeeze of lemon juice.

Cook's note: This easy weekday pasta salad can be changed up to use feta instead of ricotta, penne instead of rigatoni, and can be served warm or cold. It’s a great side to braaied wors.
