So tonight I have Bailey and Colin over. Bailey and I spent about 2 hours waiting for Colin to get here with the wine we wanted to pair with the pasta salad I made, but that's okay it was worth the wait. Here is the recipe for the pasta salad that we spent forever waiting to eat!
PASTA SALAD:
1 box farfalle pasta (bowtie)
1 tomato (cubed)
1 jar garlic marinated button mushrooms
1 jar artichoke hearts
1/4 jar caper berries
3 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 container crumbled feta
lemon juice to taste
salt to taste
white pepper to taste
a dash of thyme
a dash of basil
a dash of oregano
Boil the pasta to al dente. While the pasta boils, combine seasonings in a bowl. Mix tomato, mushrooms, artichokes, capers, olive oil, feta, salt, white pepper, lemon juice, thyme, basil, and oregano. If your bowl has a lid, shake all of the seasonings to combine thoroughly. If not, just use a wooden spoon. After the pasta is finished pour into a strainer and run cold water over it until it is completely cooled. Mix the pasta with the pre-mixed ingredients and enjoy! Refrigerate if you don't eat it all, but you just might!
So finally when Colin arrived to our little pasta party, he came with a Trapiche Malbec which is a really wonderful Argentinian wine. He also came with a Night Harvest sauvignon blanc, which we haven't opened yet. This is my third night with great food and wine with great friends!
