DIRTY MARTINI PASTA SALAD

 

Dirty Martini Pasta Salad!

It doesn't have to be 5:00 clock somewhere to enjoy a Martini!

This cold Dirty Martini Pasta Salad was inspired by the 

viral recipe for Blue Cheese stuffed in Olives in a Classic Martini.

The Blue Cheese basically dissolves into the dish to create a tangy.

slight funky and absolutely Delicious pasta salad recipe.

And even if you really don't like Blue Cheese, trust me on this.

It's perfection in a Martini Glass.

Let's get Shaken not Stirred in my kitchen now!

Correction..... Let's get Mixing in my kitchen now.

Get a box of Bow Tie pasta cooking because we 

 Dress Up when we have a Martini or two.

Cook the pasta to al dente.

Rinse the Bow Tie pasta until cool to touch.

Toss the Bow Tie pasta into a large bowl.

Roughly chop up a bunch of Parsley with a 

Olive Green knife.

Squeeze in the juice of half a Lemon into the bowl

along with the Parsley.

Let me brag...I grew this Lemon in my garden :)

Bit of Salt & Pepper to taste.

Slice up about a cup of Castelvetrano Olives 

with a sharp Olive Green knife.

Save all the Olive Brine Juice for later!

Toss the Olives into the bowl.

Pour about a 1/4 of a cup of the

Olive Brine right into the bowl.

In goes 1/2 a cup of the crumbled Blue Cheese.

Perfect but this Martini is not ready yet...

Little zest of the Lemon.

I added these toasted Pine Nuts for texture value and they

add that perfect little nutty touch.

If you don't like them, you can just leave them out.

What's next? Pour in some fabulous Olive Oil.

Grab an Olive Green Spoon and give the bowl a

Shake not Stir.

Correction, Stir The Bowl :)

But of course a Dirty Martini Pasta Salad has to be served in a

MARTINI GLASS!

It's Cocktail Hour Anytime Of The Day!
