is it summer yet?
i feel like summer is prime pasta salad time. it's great for warm-weather potlucks, or beside some barbequed tofu. it's quick and easy to throw together, and cheap to boot.
i'm so ready for summer. winters in calgary are far too long, and i am one of those unlucky people who is always cold. i'm so ready for shorts and green grass and pasta salad. bring it on!
ingredients:
4 c cooked pasta (rice pasta for a gluten free option) penne, elbows, etc
1 T good quality balsamic vinegar
1 T olive oil
1/2 c chopped fresh basil
1/2 c chopped roasted red peppers
1 1/2 t garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
to make:
add the oil to the pasta while it's still warm, then allow to cool before adding the rest of the ingredients. put everything in a large bowl or tupperware and mix well. let sit for at least a couple of hours, mixing occasionally, before eating.
enjoy!
