Chilled Capellini with Basil, Tomatoes & Prosciutto

June 9, 2021 by Marc Matsumoto Leave a Comment

Chilled Capellini with Basi

Summer is here, and with it comes soaring heat and humidity in Japan. When it's sweltering hot, it's hard to find the energy to cook, especially when it's going to heat up your kitchen even more. That's why I love cold noodle salads like hiyashi chuka, because the noodles only take a few minutes to cook, and the rest of the effort just involves some chopping and mixing.

We didn't have any ramen noodles in the house today, so I rummaged through the pantry and found an opened bag of capellini. Next to the pasta bin was a box of insanely sweet tomatoes I picked up at the market earlier this week, and my initial thought was to toss these together with some cheese and basil for a simple pasta pomodoro. A look in the fridge turned up some basil sauce and prosciutto, though, and I had the makings for a chilled pasta that was on low effort as it was delicious!

Welcome!

I started No Recipes back in 2007 as a place to share original dishes I'd created with friends. It's since evolved into something much bigger than I could have imagined, but as it grew, the focus shifted from inventing dishes to improving classics. In the spirit of how No Recipes began, I'm bringing back my weekly original recipes for all of my supporters and friends!
