Tomato Pasta Salad

This is a recipe from food network.It is a light meal in which you mix cooked pasta with tomato salad.Since everything was there I gave it a try with little adjustments.

Ingredients:

Pasta : 1 cup
Tomatoes: 2 big
Lemon juice: 1 big lemon
Lemon zest: 1/2 lemon
Oregano:1/2 tsp
Pepper:1/2 tsp
Salt:as per taste
Olive oil: 2 tspn
Ricota cheese: 2 tbsp(crumbled or cubed)
Coriander leaves: for garnish

Preparation:
Cook the pasta as per the instructions.I used bow tie or farfalle even though the recipe was meant for fusili or cork screw pasta.

While pasta is being cooked,in a bowl,add chopped tomatoes,oregano,pepper,salt,zest and juice.The recipe did not have oregano,but I added it.Mix well.

Add the cooked pasta to this bowl, and toss.Add crumbled or cubed ricotta cheese,olive oil and garnish with coriander/cilantro leaves.Serve.

It is very tasty and next time I am going to try this adding other veggies as well.Hope you too try this.
