Instructions
- Cook pasta in salty water until al dente – usually about one minute less than the package suggests – and set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss together cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, red onion, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh herbs and toasted pine nuts.
- Add reserved pasta to the bowl and drizzle with olive oil, balsamic, salt and pepper. Toss well, check for seasoning and adjust accordingly.
Notes
- There’s no need to reconstitute the sun-dried tomatoes because they will plump up when they absorb the vinaigrette. Oil-packed work too. To toast pine nuts, bake at 350 for 5 minutes on a baking sheet.
