Fregola sarda tabouleh with roasted vegetables
Loading...SKILL LEVEL :
EasyPasta gems from Sardinia
I combined two recent discoveries: Fregola Sarda, a roasted rustic pasta from Sardinia and roasted cucumbers to make a roasted vegetable tabouleh. I stuffed the dish with roasted garlic, tomatoes, cucumbers and radishes and then added some zip with fresh mint, parsley, lemon zest and feta cheese. This hearty pasta is suitable as a main course or a side.
You can take a short cut to make this a quick and easy recipe by purchasing roasted garlic cloves and roasted tomatoes. Alternatively you can roast your own tomatoes and garlic and store them in the fridge for various uses.

I love discovering a new food, especially when it has a great name that sounds like an Italian movie star. Fregola Sarda, is my latest find. These hand-crafted, toasted, nutty pearls of a pasta are incredibly versatile. I use them in this recipe to make a toasted and roasted tabouleh.
