Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil. Once boiling, salt the water, and add Barilla Medium shells pasta. Cook until al dente.

  • Drain the pasta and drizzle with olive oil so it doesn’t stick together. Let the pasta cool completely - this step takes at least one hour.

  • Once pasta is cooled, place it in a large bowl. Add the pesto and stir.

  • Add the prosciutto, olives, bocconcini, cherry tomatoes, arugula, and toasted sunflower seeds.

  • Stir once more until combined.

  • Serve straight away or keep in the fridge for 1-2 days.
