Bow-Tie Salad with Fennel, Prosciutto, and Parmesan
A tangy lemon dressing makes this main-course salad especially refreshing, and the only thing you have to cook is the pasta. If you find a fennel bulb with the dark-green feathery tops still on, chop some of them and toss into the pasta. |

|
|
| |
|
1/2 pound bow tie pasta
|
|
1 large fennel bulb, (about one pound) sliced as thin as possible
|
|
1/4 cup olive oil
|
|
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
|
|
1/4 teaspoon salt
|
|
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
|
|
1/4 pound prosciutto, thinly sliced, cut into strips
|
|
1/4 pound Grated Parmesan cheese, (or 1/3 cup grated parmesan)
|
In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the bow ties until just done, about 15 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cold water and drain thoroughly.
In a large bowl, toss together the bow ties, fennel, oil, lemon juice, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Add the prosciutto and toss again.
To serve, mound the salad on plates. Top with strips of Parmesan shaved from the chunk of cheese with a vegetable peeler or with the grated Parmesan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper over the cheese.
Wine Recommendation:
Have some fun with this dish and try a bottle of the sparkling Italian wine Prosecco. It should go nicely with the fennel.
