Italian cuisine is renowned for its pasta dishes, which are many and varied. I enjoy numerous pasta dishes, however, I have to admit that I am not a pasta salad fan per se. If I want to eat a salad, I want veggies, not pasta. However, recently, my friends and I made a sheva brachos for a friend’s daughter (don’t worry, we’ll savor those recipes together yet!), and Rickel S. made a pasta salad the likes of which I’ve never tasted before. Even the men ate it, and we had empty bowls when we cleared off. When I tried it at home, everyone loved it. I made it four times (!!!) that week and served it on Shabbos as well. It came out delicious with whole wheat pasta (regular width) too.
1/2 pounds (225 grams) angel hair pasta (also called capellini, spaghettini, and linguine)
1/4 cup Bartenura Olive Oil or canola oil
2 cloves minced garlic or 2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
1/4 cup sliced scallions
3 tomatoes, very finely diced, without pulp or seeds
1 teaspoon chopped dry basil or 2 teaspoons fresh or 2 cubes Dorot Gardens Frozen Basil
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Snap the pasta in half and cook al denté (a short time). Strain, rinse, and set aside.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium flame and sauté the garlic, and scallions together for about two minutes. Pour this on top of pasta.
Add the tomatoes, basil, salt, and pepper and gently stir together. Serve room temperature.
