Orecchiette with Mixed Greens and Goat Cheese
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

Ingredients
1 cup dried orecchiette pasta
2 cups Mediterranean-style mixed salad greens
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes (packed in olive oil), chopped
1 tablespoon goat cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
Pinch salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Directions
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the
pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10
minutes. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the water.

In medium bowl, mix the salad greens with the sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, and Parmesan. Top
with warm pasta and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water. Toss to combine and wilt the greens. Season

with a pinch each of salt and pepper, or to taste. Garnish with additional Parmesan, if desired, and
serve.
