Ingredients

1 large handful fresh basil
500g dried Messicani pasta
a good grinding of black pepper
4 tbsp rapeseed oil
2 tbsp Mr Organic Sundried Tomato Pesto (or similar)
340g sweetcorn
1 jar sunblush tomatoes, plus a glug of the oil
150 - 200g santini tomatoes (or other)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 01

    Cook the pasta according to the packet until al dente.

  2. 02

    Drain and rinse under a cold tap until the pasta is cold and glossy (this is the secret to a great pasta salad). Shake off as much water as possible.

  3. 03

    While that pasta is cooking whizz the basil and rapeseed oil into a dressing. Use scissors to snip the sunblush tomatoes in their jar, drain the corn and cut the fresh tomatoes in half.

  4. 04

    Once the pasta is well drained, mix through the herb dressing and the pesto.

  5. 05

    Next add the sunblush tomatoes and a glug of oil from the jar, which has a wonderful flavour, then add the fresh tomatoes and corn.

  6. 06

    Mix together well and season with black pepper.

  7. 07

    Serve and enjoy!notes: leftover pasta salad will keep happily in the fridge for a few days. Toss it before serving to re-coat in the oil.

Review

The Caprese Salad Skewers recipe was a triumph! I prepared them for a party's barbecue and everyone loved them. The basil was so aromatic, the mozzarella so fresh, and the skewers were the perfect size and an appropriate.
