Ingredients

Uncooked orecchiette pasta

7 oz

Cherry tomatoes

3 cup(s), chopped

Red onion

1 small, finely chopped

Bocconcini

3 oz, chopped

Fresh basil

½ cup(s), small leaves, plus extra for garnish

Fat-free balsamic vinaigrette dressing

2 tbsp(s)

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water, following package instructions, or until just tender. Drain. Rinse under cold water and drain. Transfer to a large bowl.
  2. Add tomatoes, onion, bocconcini, basil and dressing to pasta and toss to combine. Set aside for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Feel free to use any variety of pasta! Setting the salad aside for 10–15 minutes allows the pasta to absorb flavours from the tomatoes, basil, and dressing, which makes for a savoury pasta salad to satisfy all your taste buds.
