Method

Step 1

Here are 5 easy steps for a gluten-free pasta salad with feta:

Step 2

Start by blending the pine nuts and garlic in a blender. Add the basil leaves, washed and dried, and EVO without turning off the blender. Add the grated Parmigiano cheese and Pecorino cheese and adjust the density by adding more oil if necessary.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the gluten-free pasta one minute less than the package directions.

Step 4

Drain the pasta and toss it with olive oil. Place the pasta flat on a sheet pan to cool.

Step 5

Cut the feta into pieces about the same size as the cherry tomatoes. Wet the knife at each cut to avoid crumbling the feta.

Step 6

Add the cooled pasta, cherry tomatoes, black olives, and feta cheese to a large mixing bowl. If you want a stronger flavor, add half of a red onion thinly sliced on top.

Step 7

Add the pesto and Italian dressing to the mixing bowl. Toss to combine and serve.
