      Title: PASTA SALAD WITH ROCKET & TOMATO DRESSING
 Categories: Salads, Pasta, Vegetarian
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      4    Ripe tomatoes, peeled,
      2    De-seeded and chopped
           Finely
      2    Garlic cloves, chopped
           Finely
      2 oz (60 g) rocket leaves,
           Chopped coarsely
      1 tb Olive oil
      8 oz (240 g) penne pasta
           (quills)
           Salt and freshly ground
           Black pepper
 
  1. Place the tomatoes, garlic and rocket leaves in a bowl. Add the
  olive oil and season well with the salt and pepper. Cover and
  refrigerate for at least 2 hours. 2. Cook the pasta in plenty of
  lightly salted boiling water for 8 -1 0 minutes until al dente. Rinse
  well with cold water and drain thoroughly. Toss the pasta with the
  chilled tomato mixture and serve.
  
  Cook's notes: Serve this salad warm - simply toss the hot, drained
  pasta into the chilled tomato sauce. If they are available, plum
  tomatoes taste delicious in this recipe.

  Freezing not recommended You don't have to travel to Italy to enjoy
  wild rughetta, a spiky green-leaved plant with a strong peppery
  flavour. Most supermarkets now sell rocket, a slightly milder
  cultivated variety. If you can't find it, use spinach or a mixture of
  lamb's lettuce and watercress.
