Broccolini Pasta Salad

(16-ounce) box campanelle or other short pasta

Broccolini,

olive oil

tbsp. white balsamic vinegar

shallot,

garlic clove, finely grated

Dijon mustard

pt. cherry tomatoes, halved

c. smoked almonds,

c. Fresh basil leaves, torn

I did a variation on this using pear-infused vinegar and added grated Parmesan cheese, and brought it to an event as a side.  I used the basil growing in my front garden which I plant to keep the deer from eating my annuals. (Deer avoid herbs.)  😀 It was a big hit!

Strawberry Balsamic Pasta Salad

penne

c. baby spinach

c. sliced strawberries

c. crumbled feta

c. sliced almonds, toasted

kosher salt

black pepper

Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

It has great flavor with sweetness of berries, saltiness of feta, crunch from almond (used slivers) and spinach. However, it seems dry so added olive oil helped a little. After oil and balsamic absorbed, pasta still seems dry.

Almonds, lemon and Brussels sprouts provide a simple flavour foundation for kamut fusilli pasta.
