準備時間： 15分鐘
烹飪時間： 10 分鐘
量： 5-6人
材料：
意大利通心粉 (Rottini pasta) 1磅(lb)
櫻桃西紅柿 (cherry tomato) 1/2 杯(cup)
油橄欖 (Kalamata or assorted olives) 1/2杯(cup)
新鮮九層塔 (fresh basil) 10-15片葉子(leaves)
帕瑪森芝士 (Parmesan Cheese, fresh grated) 1/2杯(cup)
調料：
日曬番茄干 (sun-dried tomato) 190g
橄欖油(extra virgin olive oil) 1杯(cup)
紅酒醋 (red wine vinegar) 3大匙 (tbsp)
鹽(salt) 少許
胡椒粉 (pepper) 少許
做法：
1) 調料：把調料裡的所有材料混合，先用脈衝檔把材料打碎，再打成濃汁(圖A)；
2) 鍋裡大火燒開水，放一大匙鹽，加Pasta煮9-10分鐘至熟，撈出後加橄欖油拌勻(圖B)；
3) 櫻桃西紅柿對切，油橄欖切粗粒，九層塔切絲 (圖C)；
4) 煮熟的通心粉加2/3的調料，拌勻 (圖D)；
5) 加油橄欖碎, 拌勻(圖E)；
6) 加芝士條拌勻(圖F)；
7) 食用時加櫻桃西紅柿和九層塔絲，拌勻(圖G)。
貼士：
a) 調料做好後要靜至45分鐘以上再用，這樣味道才會充分混合均勻，調料用量可根據口味做調整。可提前一天把調料做好；
b) 熟的pasta濾掉水分後加橄欖油拌勻即可。過冷水會沖掉表面的粘性物質，從而不易吸附調料。
