Preparation

  1. Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente. Drain, allow the steam to escape, and leave to cool completely.
  2. Place the sun-dried tomatoes in a sieve, collecting the oil. Cut the tomatoes into strips or pieces, depending on their size, and add them to the pasta.
  3. Add about 30 ml of the reserved tomato oil and 1 tsp of salt to the pasta and mix thoroughly so that the flavour is evenly distributed.
  4. Toast the pine nuts in a non-stick pan without any additional oil until golden brown. Then mix about two thirds of the pine nuts into the pasta salad.
  5. Wash the rocket, spin it dry, and roughly tear it into pieces. Carefully fold it into the pasta salad.
  6. Arrange the pasta salad on plates or in a bowl, drizzle with balsamic glaze, and garnish with the remaining pine nuts.
  7. Taste again before serving and season to taste if needed.
