Picking up the basil and tomatoes from your local farmers market will make this recipe taste that much fresher! It’s the perfect dish for sharing at picnics or potlucks.
Makes six 1 1/2-cup servings
Ingredients:
8 ounces dry whole-wheat rotini or other shaped pasta
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1 15-ounce can white beans, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
kosher or sea salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse.
2. Combine pasta with remaining ingredients and let stand for 30 minutes at room temperature prior to serving. Add juice of lime if needed - I had to add this and more salt when using canned tomatoes - I should have drained them.
Would also try white balsamic instead of the standard.
