How to Make Cavatelli Salad With Artichokes And Goat Cheese

  1. Cook 1 pound cavatelli pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente (about 8-10 minutes).
  2. Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, salt, and pepper to taste.
  4. Add the cooked cavatelli to a large bowl and pour the vinaigrette over it. Toss gently to coat.
  5. Add 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and quartered, 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved, 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved, 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped.
  6. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
  7. Crumble 4 ounces of goat cheese over the salad and gently toss until it melts slightly and is distributed evenly.
  8. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with extra fresh basil if desired.
