Bruschetta Pasta Salad
- 4 Vine Ripen Tomatoes (or any variety, diced)
- 1/2 small Red Onion (diced)
- 2 tbsp Fresh Basil (chopped, plus more for garnish)
- 1 Clove Garlic (minced)
- 1/2 tsp Oregano
- 1/4 tsp Fine Sea Salt (more or less to taste)

- Parmesan Cheese (Burrata, Crumbled Feta or Goat Cheese, as desired, optional)
- 3 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar Glaze (as desired)
- 500 g Spaghetti Pasta (or pasta of choice)
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta (500g) and cook according to package directions or until al dente.
- In the meantime, make the bruschetta. Dice tomatoes and onion, set aside in a medium bowl. Add fresh basil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper and 3 tbsp olive oil to the serving bowl. Stir to combine, set mixture aside to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes or until pasta has boiled.
- When the pasta has finished cooking to al dente, drain, drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and transfer to a large heatproof serving bowl or skillet. Add bruschetta to the pasta and toss together until well combined; season to taste if needed. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, top with extra basil, cheese (optional), and black pepper if desired and serve immediately!
