Pasta salad: the recipe for a summer dish that everyone likes!

Preparation tips for pasta salad. 

Here are some tips to give a twist to your pasta salad:

• Use a short, sturdy pasta that holds the sauce well, such as penne, fusilli or farfalle.
• Drain the pasta well al dente and run it under cold water so that it stops cooking; this will prevent it from becoming too soft once seasoned.
• Cut ingredients into similarly sized pieces to ensure even distribution of flavors.
• Add fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, just before serving to keep their aroma fresh and vibrant.

Pasta salad: the role of a quality extra virgin oil!

Oil is important in every dish of Italian cuisine, but in this case it is even more so: pasta salad with vegetables leaves room for all the flavors of a good extra virgin olive oil:

• Extra virgin olive oil adds depth and complexity to the dish. Its distinctive aroma enriches pasta salad, creating a delicious and inviting dressing.
• Extra virgin olive oil gently coats the pasta, helping to prevent it from sticking. This helps to keep the pasta soft and well seasoned, providing a pleasant texture to the dish.
• Extra virgin olive oil acts as a vehicle for the flavors of the other ingredients in the pasta salad. Because of its ability to transport and intensify flavors, it helps make each bite tasty and satisfying.
• Extra virgin olive oil is a source of monounsaturated fats, which are considered heart-healthy fats. Integrating extra virgin olive oil into pasta salad not only adds flavor, but also health benefits.

For the preparation of the pasta salad we have chosen to use Farchioni Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil 100% Italian, which will enhance all the fresh ingredients of your dish thanks to its fragrant aroma and fruity taste.
