Method

Step 1

Cook the Barilla Cellentani pasta according to package instructions. Drain and let the pasta cool down completely.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lay parchment paper on a baking pan and arrange the prosciutto slices on it. Bake for 12-15 minutes until crispy. Let it cool down and break into small pieces with your hands.

Step 3

Prepare the dressing by combining all the ingredients together in a mason jar: olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, honey, garlic, basil and salt. Close with the lid and shake well to mix.

Step 4

In a big bowl, combine the cooled pasta, mini bocconcini, sundried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, cucumbers, shallots, arugula and the prosciutto chips.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the pasta salad and mix well.
