This recipe is from my Hubby's cousin-in-law-aw ferget it! She is my cousin in law too!!! She is another great cook and is kind enough to pass this on to all of us-When Deb says it is good-SHE MEANS IT!The Best Summer Pasta Salad
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb orzo pasta (cooked and chilled)
2 handfuls of arugula
½ cup chopped fresh basil
10 oz. pine nuts (toasted and cooled)
10 oz dried cranberries
5 oz ricotta salada cheese (crumbled) or Feta Cheese if you prefer
Fresh lemon juice from about 2 lemons
Olive Oil ½ cup
Salt and Pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Cook Pasta. Rinse and Chill. Toast pine nuts and cool. Mix all ingredients together and eat!!!!!
To Toast Pine Nuts: Put some Olive Oil in a pan and add the nuts. Heat nuts in oil until golden brown. Stir constantly while heating. Nuts toast very fast and can be easily burned. Put aside and let cool before tossing in the salad.
