If you thought pasta 🍝 could only be boiled, this recipe will change your mind. A touch of oven and you’ll get a different, crispy and delicious salad. 🥗
🥙Ingredients:
*250 g Borges Fusilli Pasta
*2 tablespoons Borges Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
*1 teaspoon sweet paprika
*40 g grated Parmesan cheese
*1 tablespoon salt (for cooking)
For the dressing :
*125 g plain yogurt or Greek yogurt
*1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
*1 tablespoon Borges Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
*1 tablespoon lemon juice
*½ teaspoon onion powder
*1 pinch salt and ground black pepper
For the salad🥗 :
*2 cups fresh lettuce
*100 g cherry tomatoes
*¼ red onion
*100 g mozzarella pearls
*5–6 fresh basil leaves
1️⃣ Bring plenty of water to a boil in a pot. When it boils, add a generous amount of salt and add the Borges Fusilli pasta. Cook until al dente.
2️⃣ Drain the pasta using a colander and let it cool for a few moments.
3️⃣ Transfer the pasta to a bowl. Add a generous drizzle of Borges Premium EVOO, paprika, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well so all the fusilli are evenly coated and glossy.
4️⃣ Spread the seasoned pasta on a baking tray and bake at 200°C for 20 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
5️⃣ In a medium bowl, mix the yogurt, mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.
6️⃣ In a large bowl, add chopped lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onion, mozzarella pearls, and fresh basil. Add the dressing, the crispy pasta, and mix everything just before serving.
