Bow-Tie Pasta with Tomatoes, Basil, and Olives

This dish is all about freshness, simplicity and a mélange of flavors. The tangy tomatoes, aromatic basil and the mellow kalamata olives teams up with the bow-tie pasta to bring out the authentic Italian essence in this dish. My kids are in love with its vibrant colors while I’m bowled over by its simplicity! After all its one of those few pasta dishes which calls for minimal cooking. Simply toss the ingredients together and this pasta salad is ready to please everyone. Though I avoid adding cheese to keep the calories low, but you may consider adding feta or mozzarella for a creamy touch.
