PASTA SALAD WITH SUMMER TOMATOES, BASIL AND OLIVE OIL



Pasta Salad With Summer Tomatoes, Basil and Olive Oil image

This summery dish walks the line between tangy, juicy tomato salad and hearty pasta salad. To make it, ripe tomatoes are marinated with capers, garlic, basil and lots of good olive oil until they almost fall apart, creating a wonderfully soupy dressing for the pasta. Then the pasta is added while still hot to mix; as it cools, it absorbs all the bright flavors. If you can, choose heirloom tomatoes in an array of hues, and serve this in a glass bowl to show it off. Cubes of fresh mozzarella, or bocconcini, make for creamy addition. Add them just before serving, so the heat of the pasta doesn't melt the cheese.

Time 25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds very ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup drained capers or sliced olives
3 garlic cloves, finely grated or mashed to a paste
Kosher salt, as needed
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 large basil sprig, plus 1/2 cup torn fresh basil leaves
3 oil-packed anchovy fillets, minced (optional)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 pound short pasta, such as campanelle, fusilli or farfalle

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss together the tomatoes, capers, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper, red-pepper flakes, the whole basil sprig and anchovies if using. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir in 1/2 cup oil. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. The tomatoes should be aggressively seasoned. Let tomatoes marinate for at least 1 hour and preferably 2 to 3.
  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until it is just al dente, usually a minute less than the package instructions. Drain well. Add to bowl with tomatoes while still warm and toss well. Let pasta cool, soaking up the dressing. Let pasta sit at room temperature for at least another hour and up to 6 hours before serving. Or chill for up to 24 hours; bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Just before serving, gently fold in torn basil leaves. Top with more olive oil and cracked black pepper before serving.

TOMATO, FRESH FIG AND BLUE CHEESE SALAD



Tomato, Fresh Fig and Blue Cheese Salad image

Whether you get them from your backyard garden or the local farmers' market, tomatoes are one of summer's sweetest staples. In the kitchen, one of the best things a cook can do with a surfeit of ripe summer tomatoes is not to cook them. With such tasty beauties available (and given the tomato-pleasing heat), salads make more sense. Start simply by slicing big tomatoes into rounds and cutting smaller ones into wedges and the cherry and grape varieties in half. Very gently toss them with fresh herbs, balsamic vinegar, olive oil and good salt. Use whatever you've got to hand to dress up the pile. Here, we've used some crumbled blue cheese for tang, fresh figs for sweetness and a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts for crunch.

Categories     easy, quick, salads and dressings, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons pine nuts

1/2 pound fresh figs, cut into quarters
1 ounce crumbled blue cheese, like Fourme d'Ambert, more to taste
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar and salt. Whisk in oil.
  • In a small skillet over medium-low heat, toast pine nuts, shaking the pan occasionally, until light golden, about 2 minutes.
  • Spread tomato slices on a large plate. Scatter fig quarters and pine nuts over tomatoes. Sprinkle with cheese and thyme, drizzle with dressing and finish with pepper.
