I thought it would be fun to share the recipes I’m getting from the farm with you guys, so here is the first one I’ve written down. Italian food is great because it uses simple ingredients to create super flavorful meals, and most dishes are really easy to make! This recipe is one that Barb made up on the spot, and in the last moment decided to throw shredded coconut in it. BRILLIANT!
Pasta Freddo/Insalata di Pasta
Ingredients:
- Bowtie Pasta
- Diced Cucumbers
- Diced Tomatoes
- Chopped Fresh Mozarella
- Chopped Fresh Basil Leaves
- Shredded Coconut (to taste)
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil (drizzle over top)
- Sea Salt (to taste)
- Pepper Spices (to taste)
- Coriander Powder (to taste)
Ok, so basically you just gotta eyeball it like the Italians do. There were no measuring cups involved in this preparation, just hands and eyeballs. So just mix all these things together and add the spices to your liking…
Obviously you need to prepare the pasta ahead of time and let it cool in the fridge. Add a touch of EVOO to keep the noodles separated.
Serve cold and with a cute basil leaf on top! Soooo yummy and so easy to make!
