I was craving Bruscetta today.. and since I am trying to get bikini fabulous, I didn't want to eat the bread. So I ate pasta instead. I don't really know how to justify the pasta being better than the bread.. but in my pea brain, it was. is. isn't, but whatever...
2 cups uncooked pasta
2 small(er) tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2 small cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2 medium basil leaves, chopped
1 small can marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
2 tbs finely chopped onion
4 Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbs (ish) red wine vinegar
salt and pepper
shaved or shredded Parmesan cheese, about a hand full.
*If I would have had goat cheese on hand, I would have crumbed some up and added to the salad as well. Just a thought.
Cook pasta in boiling, salted water until just under al dente.. the pasta will continue to cook as well as plump up with the dressing. In a medium-large bowl mix the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. When the pasta is finished cooking, drain and dump the warm pasta into your bowl and dressing. Coat pasta. Add remaining ingredients and chill. Or eat it right there. Whatever makes you happy.
