Preparation of Cold Greek Pasta
Prepare the Greek pasta starting with cooking the pasta itself in plenty of lightly salted water.
Meanwhile, pit the olives, wash and cut the cherry tomatoes in half, and cut the Greek feta into small pieces.
Place everything in a large bowl and season with Genoese pesto. If you wish, you can use zucchini pesto or celery pesto for a more delicate flavor.
Once the pasta is cooked but still al dente, drain it and immediately run it under cold running water to stop the cooking.
Drain it very well and add it to the dressing in the bowl, mix and if needed, season with salt and add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
Garnish with basil leaves, let it rest for at least 15 minutes to let it flavor before serving at the table.
