How to Make PASTA SALAD Like an Italian

[@vincenzosplate]

Italian cold pasta salad never tasted this good. How Italian are you when you cook pasta?

[@rider65]

No sundried tomatos...real tomato! Penne pasta. Also cannalini beans. Also fresh lemon juice in olive oil 👍

I would have left out the cheese with tuna, but I will try.

De cecco is the best brand although I may be a bit biased because i come from marche which is where de cecco is based.

Have you thought about making a pasta salad or simple pasta dish with duxelle like the kind you saw Chef Gordon make in your video review with Chef James Makinson? Ooh! Maybe make some stuffed shells with it. I love how Chef Gordon made it with roasted chestnuts. Maybe try that and top with toasted pine nuts and good extra virgin olive oil, and even some roasted little tomatoes around it if you can still get fresh ones this time of year where you are. Yummy!

Very nice recipe! I have made it almost exactly like this, just minus the tuna, and with a small spritz of lemon juice. What I also like is one with essentially the pesto ingredients - roasted pine nuts, basil, olive oil, shaved parmigiano, hint of (dried, flaked) garlic, pepper, and also a dash of lemon because the mild acidity brings out the other flavors and adds to that summery freshness.

Gonna try this, as we love these ingredients here in Greece too 💙. Just a thought: Typically, we make the sauce before the pasta, but here it's different. Since we have to wait for the pasta to cool, I think it's better to first finish preparing the pasta, and afterwards, you can start combining the salad. When it's ready, you throw the cooled pasta in, and voila!

When I make a pasta salad I dress it with a vinaigrette. They're quite straightforward: 3 parts extra virgin olive oil to one part lemon juice or flavorful vinegar (i.e.not distilled white vinegar) Dijon mustard (this helps to stabilize the emulsion, so it needs to have a very smooth consistency), about half as much as your acid Salt, pepper, and any other seasonings; I recommend garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley to start Whisk or blend until it's thoroughly emulsified. Variations: a bit of sesame oil for a nutty flavor, but only a little bit, because sesame oil is intensely flavored. If you go for lemon juice, try mixing it 50/50 with lime juice. MSG is excellent for an umami kick, but don't overdo it; there's a ton of natural MSG in tomatoes and cheese both. For vinegars, balsamic is sweeter, red wine is intensely sour, apple cider vinegar is nicely balanced, white wine vinegar is like milder red wine vinegar. I haven't tried sherry vinegars because they're hard to come by in the US, or at least my part of it, but I'm sure they'd also be good. If you want to make the emulsion super stable, add a little bit of xanthan gum, but remember that a little goes a _long_ way (at most 1% of the mixture by mass). (Don't be afraid of xanthan gum; it's just a product of sugar fermentation, and it seems to have some gut health benefits.) I've also used roasted garlic in a creamier dressing, but a single roasted clove would be a treat. (But it _must_ be roasted; raw garlic will overpower everything.)

When I was a child, my mum regularly made pasta salad in summer or for family celebrations. Apart from the fact that we were a working-class family with four children and money was tight, my mum wasn't really good at cooking either (one reason why I started cooking myself very early on). My mother used the cheapest fussili-like pasta from ALDI, tasteless tomatoes from Dutch greenhouses, mayonnaise instead of olive oil, peas, the cheapest tinned tuna (or sausage) etc.. Olives and basil were never included. I never liked it, in fact I hated it. Since then I have always associated fusilli with the terrible pasta salad of my childhood and have NEVER used it, indeed never made or eaten pasta salad. This video has now convinced me to give Vincenzo's pasta salad a try. I will be using fussili from my favourite pasta brand FAELLA. Thank you for this recipe, Vincenzo.

This looks tasty. I make a similar one, but more different ingredients. I use fusilli or rotini, whatever I have on hand, and like you, add some olive oil to the pasta while it cools. I put in a lot of different salad vegetables, celery, scallions, black olives, bell pepper slices or chunks, tomatoes, avocado, artichoke hearts from a jar, maybe some others I’m not recalling, also hard boiled eggs, cooked shrimp chopped fairly small, canned tuna or salmon, sometimes some cooked chicken. Then add herbs: basil, garlic, dill, maybe a little oregano, fresh ground pepper, and a dressing of olive oil plus lemon juice and vinegar.

[@mukkaar]

Good way to cool down pasta fast for salads. Just drain water from pan, then put cold water into sink, and float pan with pasta inside there. It's faster than fridge and you just need to mix it couple times so pasta has contact with cold sides of the pan. It's also good way to quickly bring down temp of something you want to put into fridge, especially something big, since putting big pot of sauce or something in fridge hot can raise temperature in there.

When I make my pasta salad, I use tricolor rotini. I cook it al dente and never rinse it. I put 2 or 3 cloves of crushed garlic per container and mix the hot pasta and garlic in Italian extra virgin olive oil. I like balsamic vinegar in my pasta salad. I put extra sharp provolone and Fontina cheeses. I dice ham, prosciutto, Speck, salami, and pepperoni. Then I put olives, roasted peppers, artichoke hearts, marinaded mushrooms, and basil. I add a little black pepper. I don't put salt in my pasta salad, because I salted the pasta water, and the meats, cheeses, and vegetables are salty. One year, my wife and I made twelve boxes of rotini pasta for pasta salad in a year. We made three boxes for Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, and Christmas.

This salad looks so fresh and mouthwateringly delicious. It certainly has some wonderful ingredients and makes enough for a crowd. I thought I would give it a try. I guess my American palate is just not used to so much olive oil. I missed the acidity of vinegar or lemon in it. While I do like tuna it wasn’t my favorite addition to the salad but I thought I should try new things and expand my horizons . ( You never know if you might really enjoy something different unless you try it.) I did enjoy the cheese cubes and the pasta itself, but it wasn’t as tasty to me as I had hoped it would be. I had it a few times but it just wasn’t for me as it was kind of bland with only oil, salt and pepper. So sorry Vincenzo, I guess I will never make it as an Italian. I love adding vinegar and spices too much to my pasta salad and most likely waaay too much garlic to my dishes according to what I have seen on your channel. It’s okay though. We don’t all have to like the same things. Thanks for letting me try your recipe for this Italian pasta salad. I may try this again but with a few tweaks to suit my taste.

I think most of those that think of it being to much olive oil probably is using a cheap lower grade olive oil. A higher quality brings so much olive flavor to the dish as well as many health benefits. And yes a higher quality olive oil may not be cheap but we are talking flavor and health benefits that are worthy of the cost. Like the looks of the pasta salad. I think it is far better that a mayonnaise version as it allow the fresh ingredients to bring the acid (the tomato juice) a frsher and cleaner taste. Well done Vincenzo.

Let's make the most out of this salad while it's still hot outside! 😊

@@vincenzosplate Hot outside or not, I love a good pasta salad year-round.

[@carmenfinn7521]

This is my type of summer salad. I normally use the bowtie pasta, though...and I add a crazy amount of capers, too! ;-)

[@vincenzosplate]

Adding capers is an excellent idea! Thanks for sharing your twists 🍝🥗

[@yucelinan]

Vincenzo, when you put the pasta in boiling water, it stops boiling. Do we calculate the 10-minute period after it starts boiling again, or is it as soon as you put it in?

[@vincenzosplate]

As soon as I put the pasta in I start counting 😊

[@martinchochol1756]

This should be called "Olive oil salad" 😉

[@emilioshadjikyriacou2567]

Hello Vincenzo I have this question for some time now... were I live you have and we get local olive oil from olive trees (Mediterranean) I harvested olives for oil many times I even have a few of my own. so What do you mean extra virgin? as oppose to what?

[@vincenzosplate]

Extra virgin olive oil is the purest olive oil you can get. Its basically olive juice. Simple olive oil instead is a lower quality oil and not as good as extra virgin

[@moehoward01]

First pressing of the olives. Successive pressing of the same olives yield lighter, lesser quality oil, typically referred to simply as "Virgin", as opposed to "Extra Virgin".

[@emilioshadjikyriacou2567]

@@moehoward01 Thanks that was the answer I was looking for. I guess here the press it all the way thru and give out the most quantity the can to the people. more over some mills (with I don`t like) partly boil the olive pulp to give out more.👎

Ohhh, pasta salad! Yes, I will say, I am generally not a fan of noodle salads, but this has a bit of history. You see, here, usually, when there is something called a noodle salad, it's very, very heavy, with that thick white sauce that is mostly mayo, cut up pink sausage (pork) in there and whatnot, and while I don't HATE that kind of salad... I certainly don't love it, either. But! With a salad like this, yes. yes. I have had one that was somewhat similar, which had some sort of green pesto on it, no fish or any protein really, no sausage meat, and it had been surprisingly light and fresh and tasty, and I liked it quite a bit more than the usual experience. And the one in the video there, yeah... The only thing I personally can't handle from there is olives (that's just one of the few food I really can't eat, at all), but without that, I'm sure I would love this. I love the idea a lot of replacing the olives with capers, and indeed probably corn since I like corn a lot and I think the gentle sweetness it has would go very well with the rest of the flavors. I have to admit, when I first saw how much olive oil - or, pardon, EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil :D - was going in, I couldn't help but think that it looks like it's too much... And I was very surprised at the end that it really had been absorbed this well. I have cooked pasta many times, but never made a pasta salad myself. Gotta say, I would be very curious to give something like this a try, maybe I'll seek it out. Either way, awesome video, the salad at the end looked absolutely delicious!

[@vincenzosplate]

Thank you for sharing this history! I hope you give a try to my pasta salad recipe 😊

[@johnd.9]

I gave this video a thumbs up, but in all honesty, I would do mine differently. I would remove the olives (not a fan) and add cucumbers and red peppers. Now that is my version. ❤

[@vincenzosplate]

Thanks for the thumbs up and for sharing your version 😊

That served with chicken thighs or drumsticks instead of the tuna would be yummy! 😋

There's so much oil in this salad, the United States of America are planning to bring democracy to it. 😛 On a more serious note: It looks great, I can't wait to try the recipe.

[@vincenzosplate]

Hahaha glad you liked how it looks, it tasted even better 😊

[@HypurrrBoy]

That's wonderful ! Would it be considered as a crime if I want to add some lemon juice and/or minced garlic to it ?

[@vincenzosplate]

Not at all, feel free to experiement with this dish 😊

[@HypurrrBoy]

@@vincenzosplate I'll try the original version first of course. ;-)

[@lucabandl]

Dear Vincenzo, can you make authentic Parrozzo??? Grazie mille!! 💖

[@vincenzosplate]

I'll see what I can do my friend 😊

[@tapanituominen7866]

Absolutely buonissimo! Although had to cut corners a bit; no Liguori pasta but Rummo penne rigate instead and had only green olives marinated with basil. One thing puzzles me though. I thought that an important Italian rule was no cheese with fish based pasta dishes?!? Confusing...

[@vincenzosplate]

We can make an exception for this rule for salad pastas! Happy to hear that you enjoyed it 😊🥗🍝

[@anish3183]

Another good recipe which I can mostly make, except for the Tuna and the provolone. No Tuna because i will make it vegetarian, and no provolone we don't get it in my area. Any suggestions on what i could use as replacements, Vincenzo? I was thinking Mozzarella or Burrata instead of provolone, but thinking what i can use instead of Tuna.

[@gobnujinten1933]

Feta goes well with this combination of ingredients, although it won't taste anything like provolone. Tuna is hard to substitute, but you can get the flavour of the sea with some capers if you want to keep it vegetarian.
