How to Make Fettuccine Tomato And Basil Salad

  1. Cook 8 ounces of fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool the pasta.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, wash and chop 1 pint of cherry or grape tomatoes. Roughly chop 2 cups of fresh basil leaves.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Add the cooked fettuccine to the bowl and toss gently to coat with the dressing.
  5. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and basil.
  6. Crumble 1/2 cup of your favorite cheese (feta, parmesan, or mozzarella recommended) over the salad and toss again to combine.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with extra basil leaves if desired.
