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.
Cellentani
A delightful corkscrew-shaped pasta, Barilla Cellentani is as fun to look at as it is to eat. With its tubular centre and ridged surface, Cellentani is perfect for a hearty pasta meal, capturing every drop of your favourite sauce and trapping vegetables, meat or fish in every delicious forkful. Barilla Cellentani is also a favourite for cold pasta salads and casseroles.
