I know I will love this as this is how I make pizza: cook down cherry/grape tomatoes with garlic slivers, Calabrian chiles, olive oil, and salt, maybe anchovies, Then top with burrata and small fresh basil leaves. Next time will add the sun-dried tomatoes.
Poor sun dried tomatoes... they've been around for.. hundreds? thousands of years, minding their own business, preserving one of the best vegetables.. then in the 90's they got 'popular' to the point, eventually, of disgust. I make a wonderful focaccia with sun dried tomatoes... so glad you're celebrating this 'secret'!!!!!
This is the best tomato pasta salad. So many are blah, murky, one note. This one captures the essence of tomatoes with lots of other delicious high noes from capers, garlic, cheese, and the marinated onion. Thank you for coming up with it.
I made this and we happened to have leftover fennel salami from a charcuterie board the other day and uh oh maybe it accidentally fell in. I regret nothing.
Oh yum, I’ll make this tomorrow - I have all the ingredients in my kitchen already! (I love sundried tomatoes especially at the start of summer when I want to use tomatoes but the British ones aren’t in supermarkets yet)
Another great recipe Alison. We are reviewing your cookbook, Nothing Fancy, in June. So far, everyone loves your simple and delicious approach to cooking.
it’s like she heard me disparaging sun dried tomatoes literally ten minutes before this was posted…

Respect to this recipe and your preemptive strike against pasta salad dogma. I just made this and can confirm it is indeed *delicious.* Thank you!
Quick note, the capers are omitted from the recipe instructions!

We made a batch of this yesterday, and ate it all so quickly that we’re currently making a second batch. This pasta salad is SO good!
Glad you said "cold red wine." which tastes good to me. Fun summer recipe!

I made this version of pasta salad I have never heard of before and it was a family hit!

I didn't realize people have such strong opinions on pasta salad!! Excited to try this. Maybe sans capers. I guess I have strong opinions on capers.
You are a delight and I can't wait to make this. I, too, am a caper.
