Preparation of the Tasty Cold Pasta
Cook the pasta in plenty of salted boiling water, drain it quite al dente, transfer it to a bowl or a baking dish, season it with a drizzle of oil, and let it cool.
Meanwhile, pour the pesto alla Genovese into a bowl, dilute it with three tablespoons of the pasta cooking water, and mix well.
Wash the cherry tomatoes, pat them dry with kitchen paper, and cut them into quarters.
Then, add them to the pesto along with the diced mozzarella. Mix and also add the capers and Taggiasca olives. Scent everything with a few basil leaves broken by hand.
When the pasta has cooled, dress it with the prepared sauce, mixing gently until all the ingredients are perfectly combined.
Distribute the tasty cold pasta alla sciué sciué on individual plates and serve it sprinkled, if desired, with freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy! Paola.
