Ingredients:
9oz Pappardelle's Pasta Gluten Free Spring Medley Fusilli Blend
1c Broccoli, chopped
1 - 6oz Can Black Olives
1 Green / Yellow / Red Bell Pepper, chopped
1T Fresh Parsley, chopped
1/2t Red Pepper Flakes
Salt and Pepper
Newman's Own Oil and Vinegar Dressing (amount to taste, 1/4 to 1/2c)
1/4 Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to directions
2. Drain pasta, rinse with cold water
3. Toss all ingredients together, lightly dress salad
4. Let salad come together in the fridge for 1-2 hours
5. Add additional dressing as desired
Notes:
There is no "right" amount of dressing for pasta salad, other than having it coated. Some people prefer a lighter dressing, while others prefer a heavier flavor, the amount is up to you!
Feel free to substitute any short / curly pasta - rotini, penne, fusilli. I highly recommend any short variety from Pappardelle's though, you won't be disappointed!
Also, use any combination of vegetables you like / have on hand. I know a lot of people don't like olives, so swap them for something you do like! Mushrooms, red onions, cherry tomatoes .... the possibilities are endless!
Makes approximately 4-6 servings
