By á-3671

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound farfalle pasta
• 8 sun-dried tomato halves, cut into strips
• 1/3 cup balsamic vinaigrette
• 1 (8 ounce) fresh mozzarella , cut into bite size cubes
• 1 pint (2 cups) mixed cherry tomatoes halved
• 1 small fresh fennel bulb, cored, thinly sliced
• 2 cups baby arugula
• 1/2 cup small fresh basil leaves
• 1/4 cup sniped fresh chives
• 12 pitted kalamata olives, havled
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 2 ounces sliced prosciutto, cut crosswise into thin stripes

Preparation

Step 1

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add pasta: cook until tender but still firm to the bite. One minute before the pasta is cooked, add sun dried tomatoes, to plump and soften.

2. Drain pasta and tomatoes in a colander and transfer to a serving bowl. Add dressing and the remaining ingredients, except for the prosciutto, and toss together until evenly dressed. Divide salad onto four plates and top with prosciutto strips.
