In a pot of boiling salted water, add the pasta and cook as per packet directions.
Drain and rinse under cold water until the pasta is at room temperature.
To make the dressing combine all ingredients in a jar with a lid, shake well to combine.
On a griddle plate or a BBQ, grill peach slices until lightly charred on each side.
To assemble the salad, toss the cooked farfalle, rocket and spinach in 2/3 of the vinaigrette dressing.
Scatter onto a large serving plate and top with the grilled peaches, torn bocconcini, and prosciutto slices. Pour the remaining dressing evenly over the assembled salad.
Garnish with fresh thyme and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
