Trenette salad with pesto and black olives is a classic Italian dish that is perfect for a meal. The combination of al dente pasta, savory pesto, and flavorful black olives creates a refreshing and filling salad that is sure to please your palate.

Ingredients:

– 1 pound of Trenette pasta
– 1/2 cup of homemade pesto sauce (or store-bought)
– 1/2 cup of black olives (pitted and sliced)
– 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 cup of extra-virgin olive oil
– Salt and pepper (to taste)

Directions:

1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the Trenette pasta. Cook the pasta according to the package directions until it is al dente (firm but not hard).

2. Drain the pasta and rinse it under cool water to stop the cooking process. Transfer the pasta to a large mixing bowl.

3. Add the homemade pesto sauce to the pasta and toss it together until each piece of pasta is coated with the sauce. If you are using store-bought pesto, you may need to add a little bit of olive oil to thin it out.

4. Add the sliced black olives to the pasta and mix them together. Black olives are a great addition to this dish because they add a salty and savory flavor to the salad.

5. Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil over the pasta salad and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top. Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Toss the pasta salad together again until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. You can serve it immediately, or cover it and refrigerate it for a few hours to let the flavors meld together.

This recipe serves 4-6 people as a main dish or 6-8 people as a side dish. You can easily double or triple the recipe if you need to feed a crowd.

Some variations you can try are adding cherry tomatoes, roasted red peppers, grilled chicken, or fresh mozzarella to the pasta salad. You can also substitute other types of pasta, such as fusilli or penne, if you can’t find Trenette pasta.

Overall, Trenette pasta salad with pesto and black olives is a quick and easy dish to prepare, but it packs a lot of flavor and nutrition. It is perfect for a picnic, potluck, or family gathering. Give it a try and add it to your recipe collection.
