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.

    soooo good!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I used campanelle pasta and blanched broccoli rabe in place of the greens. Followed the recipe for everything else and it... was really GREAT!. I served it as a side dish with breaded chicken cutlets for an easy week-night dinner. Simple to make! I can't wait to serve this for dinner with friends.,Read more

    Great "I've had a long day" Meal

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This recipe is one of my favorite go to recipes when I've had a long day. It's ready in no time flat and takes virtually no... prep time. I get home, put a pot of water on to boil, and by the time I've changed out of my work-wear, it's boiling. By the time I put the cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes in a bowl, the pasta's ready to go.

    I did enjoy this salad, the goat cheese was wonderful and it was an interesting texture- salad and pasta in the same... bite... Overall, it was a good recipe. I will make it again next summer.Read more

    My three-year-old raved about this as she ate it. Very easy and satisfying.

    UNBELIEVABLE SALAD!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Five stars is correct! This salad is really delicious. I don't usually review recipes, but you must try this. If you add some... chicken, you have a main meal. I was hesitant to try it because it had no dressing. The addition of the hot pasta water poured over the pasta and greens, melts the goat cheese and covers the pasta and greens. It's great! My daughter who is the pickiest eater on earth, loved this salad. Be sure to use the mediterranian greens with arugula.Read more

    Outstanding! Fast and Easy :)

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I have to admit, I was skeptical at first with the ingredients, but this dish was fabulous! I used baby arugula which gave... the dish wonderful flavor, and added some grilled chicken for some protein- this dish was so quick to make, and absolutely delicious! I love being able to throw together a gourmet dish with so few ingredients, and a short amount of time- thanks Giada!Read more
