Campanelle Pasta Salad Recipes

CAMPANELLE SALAD WITH VEGETABLES AND BALSAMIC DRESSING

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain, rinse gently, and drain again.
• While pasta boils, toss zucchini, bell peppers, carrot, green onions, and tomato with olive oil in a large bowl.
• Combine balsamic vinaigrette and honey in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until it coats the back of a spoon, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add pasta and balsamic reduction to the bowl of vegetables and toss gently. Season with salt and oregano; toss. Adjust seasonings as needed.

CAMPANELLE PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta water.
• In a 14-inch skillet, heat 1/4 cup of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, or until aromatic. Add the tuna to the skillet and, using a fork, break it into chunks. Add the cherry tomatoes, artichoke hearts, capers, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the pasta, the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, and the parsley. Toss until all the ingredients are coated, adding a little pasta water, if needed, to thin out the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the pasta salad to a serving bowl and serve warm or at room temperature.
