Summer Cold Pasta with Vegetables

by Giallozafferano · 2.9M subscribers on YouTube

Cold pasta is the ultimate summer one-dish meal: what summer would be without a beautiful, fresh and colorful pasta salad? There are endless recipes for cold pasta, and everyone has their own favorite 'secret ingredients'. Here is our version: vegetables cut into matchsticks and blanched for a few moments to keep their color and crunch. Then cherry tomatoes, mortadella, and cubed cheese: color and flavor in a light but nutritious and tasty dish.

Method

  1. Trim and peel the carrots, cut into 3 cm matchsticks.
  2. Cut the zucchini into slightly longer matchsticks.
  3. Blanch the carrots, zucchini, and peas in boiling water for 2 minutes.
  4. Drain and cool the vegetables in very cold water to stop cooking.
  5. Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters.
  6. Cook the pasta in the same water used for the vegetables to absorb flavor.
  7. Drain the pasta al dente, toss with a drizzle of oil, and let it cool.
  8. Once cooled, add the blanched vegetables, cherry tomatoes, cubed emmentaler, and cubed mortadella.
  9. Season with salt and pepper.
  10. Add torn basil leaves and thyme.
  11. Mix well and serve.
