ingredients

1 cup dried orecchiette
2 cups mixed salad greens, Mediterranean-style
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (packed in olive oil)
1 tablespoon goat cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
1 pinch salt
1 pinch fresh ground black pepper

directions

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the water.
In medium bowl, mix the salad greens with the sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, and Parmesan. Top with warm pasta and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water. Toss to combine and wilt the greens. Season with a pinch each of salt and pepper, or to taste. Garnish with additional Parmesan, if desired, and serve.

This is a Giada De Laurentiis recipe from a Food Network 'Everyday Italian' episode about cooking for one. I tried it after seeing it on there and it is the most fabulous, easy and quick recipe ever. Thanks for posting it!
