This fast pasta dish takes the Italian flavours of caprese salad and makes them into a delicious vegetarian meal that's ready in just 30 minutes.
1 Cook pasta in a large saucepan according to packet instructions, then drain, reserving ²⁄³ cup of the cooking liquid, and set aside.
2 Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until soft. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until just soft. Add cooked pasta and reserved cooking liquid; stir until liquid forms a thin sauce. Remove pan from heat and stir in basil.
3 Place rocket, cucumber ribbons and olives in a salad bowl; drizzle with balsamic vinegar and toss.
4 Divide caprese pasta among 4 plates, top with torn bocconcini and rocket salad, season with cracked black pepper and serve.
