1 Video | Photo: Orecchiette with Mixed Greens and Goat Cheese Recipe
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.

This is quite possibly one of the best things I have eaten for as simple as it is to make. I crave summer time when farmers market lettuces start rolling in just for making this. It's my go to "I don't want to cook tonight but don't want something from a box" meal!

Very tasty recipe! I did not add the 1/2 cup of water because I added extra cheese and I thought that made it moist enough. I also sautéed the sun dried tomatoes for about 3 min or so. Great dish, will definitely make again.

This was great. We added in some bacon and it added a ton of flavor. The pasta in the salad made it very satisfying. We will be having this often.
