Warm pasta salad with mushrooms, goat cheese and arugula

The pasta recipes are always your favorite by far. And I understand that because it is always tasty and an ideal way to quickly put together a meal. Today I have a delicious warm pasta salad.

“What is it called a salad when it is warm?” I hear you think now. You can of course call it different if you prefer, but this should be served lukewarm. Not scalding hot. Because you add arugula, chives and goat cheese after cooking, the pasta cools down and it has more the character of a salad.

Prepare the pasta salad

To make the warm pasta salad, you must of course prepare the pasta first. While it is cooking, cut the chestnut mushrooms into quarters, halves or slices, depending on the size of the mushrooms. You fry these in the olive oil until golden brown and done. Add the garlic and lemon soup and toss. Now add the pasta and fry it for 1 minute.

Now spoon the arugula, chives and lemon juice through the pasta and add spoons of the goat cheese. Drizzle some nice olive oil on top and your warm pasta salad is ready!
