Blueberry Basil Pasta Salad Recipe

Introducing My Unique Blueberry Basil Pasta Salad

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines the sweet, juicy flavors of blueberries with the fresh, herbal notes of basil in a delightful pasta salad. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or a refreshing side for a summer picnic.

Ingredients:

• penne pasta (200g)
• blueberries (100g)
• fresh basil leaves (40g)
• feta cheese (50g)
• olive oil (30ml)
• juice of 1 lemon
• salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• large pot
• colander
• mixing bowl
• whisk

Start by cooking the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with fresh blueberries, chopped basil leaves, crumbled feta cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until well combined.

Let the flavors meld together in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. The combination of sweet blueberries, tangy feta cheese, and fragrant basil will create a symphony of flavors in every bite.

Tip:

For an extra burst of freshness, try adding some toasted pine nuts or a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving. These additional ingredients will take this already delicious pasta salad to the next level.
