Pasta salads are simple, quick and versatile. This vibrant Sun Dried Tomato Penne Pasta Salad with fresh flavours straight from the Mediterranean is perfect for picnics, potlucks, lunch box or even a light lunch/supper. Sun dried tomatoes are blended together with sweet Italian basil leaves and pine nuts to make a pesto, which is used as a dressing for the pasta. The intense sweet-tart flavour of the sun-dried tomatoes makes this simple salad zesty while the cherry tomatoes add a burst of freshness. Goat cheese lends a unique tart flavour to the salad but you can alternatively use Parmesan cheese.
Serve Sun Dried Tomato Penne Pasta Salad With Goat Cheese with Pizza Margherita for a weekend dinner.
