准备时间： 15分钟
烹饪时间： 10 分钟
量： 5-6人
材料：
意大利通心粉 (Rotini pasta) 1磅(lb)
樱桃西红柿 (cherry tomato) 1/2 杯(cup)
油橄榄 (Kalamata or assorted olives) 1/2杯(cup)
新鲜九层塔 (fresh basil) 10-15片叶子(leaves)
帕玛森芝士 (Parmesan Cheese, fresh grated) 1/2杯(cup)
调料：
日晒番茄干 (sun-dried tomato) 190g
橄榄油(extra virgin olive oil) 1杯(cup)
红酒醋 (red wine vinegar) 3大匙 (tbsp)
盐(salt) 少许
胡椒粉 (pepper) 少许
做法：
1) 调料：把调料里的所有材料混合，先用脉冲档把材料打碎，再打成浓汁(图A)；
2) 锅里大火烧开水，放一大匙盐，加Pasta煮9-10分钟至熟，捞出后加橄榄油拌匀(图B)；
3) 樱桃西红柿对切，油橄榄切粗粒，九层塔切丝 (图C)；
4) 煮熟的通心粉加2/3的调料，拌匀 (图D)；
5) 加油橄榄碎, 拌匀(图E)；
6) 加芝士条拌匀(图F)；
7) 食用时加樱桃西红柿和九层塔丝，拌匀(图G)。
贴士：
a) 调料做好后要静至45分钟以上再用，这样味道才会充分混合均匀，调料用量可根据口味做调整。可提前一天把调料做好；
b) 熟的pasta滤掉水分后加橄榄油拌匀即可。过冷水会冲掉表面的粘性物质，从而不易吸附调料。
