Instructions
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually 10-12 minutes, until al dente.
-
Drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to cool it down and stop the cooking process. Set aside.
-
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the pesto. In a food processor, combine the fresh basil, walnuts garlic-infused olive oil, Parmesan, and lemon juice.
-
Blend until smooth. If the pesto is too thick, you can add a little more olive oil or water to reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
In a large bowl, toss the cooled gluten-free pasta with the pesto, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
-
If using add the black olives and spinach or rocket. Gently mix everything together.
-
Serve the pasta salad immediately, or store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. This dish can be eaten cold or at room temperature.
