Herbed Farfalle & Grilled Chicken

You'll rip, not chop the herb leaves in this zesty pasta filled with basil, mint, and cilantro. Leaving the herbs in large pieces adds a refreshing, rustic quality to the dish.

• Kosher salt
• 12 oz. dried farfalle pasta
• 10 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb. total)
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 7 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp. ground cumin
• 1/4 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
• 1 cup packed fresh cilantro sprigs
• 1/2 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves, torn
• 1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves, torn
• 1 cup packed fresh arugula (tough stems removed)
• 6 lemon wedges

In a large pot, bring 6 qt. water and 2 Tbs. salt to a boil. Add the farfalle and cook until al dente, 10 to 12 min. Drain the pasta and toss it immediately with 1 Tbs. of the olive oil. Let the pasta cool completely in the refrigerator.

Heat a cast-iron ridged grill pan or an outdoor grill. Brush the chicken breasts with 1 Tbs. of the olive oil. Grill the chicken breasts until golden on one side, 4 to 5 min. Turn the breasts, season with salt and pepper, and continue to grill until golden and cooked through, another 6 to 8 min. Let the chicken cool and then cut it on the diagonal into thin strips. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk the remaining 8 Tbs. olive oil with the lemon juice, garlic, and cumin. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the farfalle, sliced chicken, parsley, cilantro, basil, mint, and arugula and toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Put the salad into a serving bowl and serve immediately, garnished with the lemon wedges.
