Guest guest Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I made this salad and it was so good I had to share the recipe. I am not a huge fan of Rachael because she gets pretty meaty with her cooking, but this one caught my eye. I used a packet mix of pesto [knorr I think] and used some cubes of mozz & provolone cheese because I didn't bother seeking out those other cheeses she mentioned. It was great! Pasta Salad with Lemon-Pesto Dressing From the Rachael Ray Show: 30 Minute Meals 1 pound corkscrew pasta, or medium shells Coarse salt 1 cup prepared pesto sauce from refrigerated case in supermarket 1 lemon, juiced and zested 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved 4 scallions, chopped 3/4 pound ricotta salata, chopped and crumbled, in specialty cheese case of market or 1 pound tub bocconcini mini pieces of mozzarella, drained, pieces halved Black pepper Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Place pesto, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, tomatoes, scallions and cheese in a large bowl. Cook pasta to al dente then cold shock it and chill it down under cold running water. Drain well. Add to mixing bowl. Combine salad and season with salt and pepper, to taste. -shared by Gaia via Miss Ray <s> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
