Basic Pasta Salad

1. 1

   1) Cook pasta according to directions on box (normally around 10 min). You can use the whole box or a half and basically any pasta you like. In this instance I used multigrain bowtie pasta.

2. 2

   2) Chop tomato, pepper and onions while you wait on the pasta to cook.

3. 3

   3) Drain and rinse the pasta - place into a large bowl.

4. 4

   4) Combine all the ingredients together in the bowl. I normally dump the veggies on, then the seasonings and drizzle the oil/dressing all over it.

5. 5

   5) Toss all the ingredients together and chill in the refrigerator (or eat immediately if you don't mind it a bit warm).

   Cooks Notes:

   Try this with fresh spinach shredded, green pepper, red pepper, orange peppers.

8. 8

   Fresh Parmesan cheese lightly sprinkled on the top of each serving is divine!
